lyrics

Shoe pile by the front door, shoe pile by the side door
Shoe pile, I gotta shovel away so I can look out my back door
It’s growing by the minute, I think a couple of skunks live in it
My family’s got more feet than a centipede
Look at the shoe pile by the door

Size one, size two, size three, size four
Aw, your feet’s too big I gotta buy some more
Sneakers, runners sandals, boots
You buy ‘em in a box, but what’s the use?

Just put ‘em in the
Shoe pile by the front door, shoe pile by the side door
Shoe pile, I gotta shovel away so I can look out my back door
It’s growing by the minute, I think a couple of skunks live in it
My family’s got more feet than a centipede
Look at the shoe pile by the door

Winter and spring and summer and fall
We got boxes in the basement, there’s a hamper in the hall
We like to walk to school, we can run for miles
When they see us at the shoe store, they always smile

"What can I get for you today, sir?"
Just the usual.
"Three pairs of extra-breakable, super-outgrowable shoes coming right up!"

Just put ‘em in the
Shoe pile by the front door, shoe pile by the side door
Shoe pile, I gotta shovel away so I can look out my back door
It’s growing by the minute, I think a couple of you live in it
My family’s got more feet than a centipede
Look at the shoe pile by the door

Shoe pile don’t bother me, Shoe pile don’t bother me
Shoe pile don’t bother me at all
Shoe pile don’t bother me, Shoe pile don’t bother me
Shoe pile don’t bother me at all

Songs to Sing at Children
by Mike Phirman

This album has silly but profound songwriting (What makes the breakfast) as well as hilarious skits between songs that keep me and my six year-old laughing. My Friend Christopher
