It was forty of fifty years ago, a big shot played with time
          D5                 G5                 C5
Mr Walker held the dough and both kept Cord in line
F5                     E5       G5        C5
Watched and cheked on every single day
                D5               G5            C5
Buildig his own special cars his very special way
F5       G5                    C5
Oooooh, Oooooh, the new soft shoe
D5          F5              C5
Oooooh, the new soft shoe
                 D5                        G5                C5
And then walking through a Southern mall I saw a shoeshine stand
                  D5                  G5              C5
A man was talking to a crowd holding slippers in his hand
F5                  E5         G5       C5              F5
Don't you know the same thing happens each and every day?
D5           F5                  G5            C5
Did you ever hear a song that's hard to even play?
F5       G5                    C5
Oooooh, Oooooh, the new soft shoe
D5          F5              C5
Oooooh, the new soft shoe

                 D5              G5             C5
Then a colour TV broadcast snuck in from New Orleans
                   D5                G5                    C5
Showed me one more man who spoke and wore bright blue and green
F5                E5       G5        C5                 F5
When you saw him talk his way was when he showed his claws
D5              F5         G5              C5
Spoke to people every day just to get applause
F5       G5                    C5
Oooooh, Oooooh, the new soft shoe
D5          F5              C5
Oooooh, the new soft shoe
F5       G5                    C5
Oooooh, Oooooh, the new soft shoe
D5          F5              C5
Oooooh, the new soft shoe
