Sitting in a shoe shop were three pink pairs of shoes.
In came a customer, and which did he choose?
“Pink shoes?” said the gentleman No, not for me!”
And if you looked at his feet, I think you’d agree.
Left on the shoe shelf sat the three pairs of shoes.
In came the next customer, and which did he choose?
“Pink shoes?” said this man. I want gardening boots.
For I’ve a thousand weeds to pull up by their roots.”
Alone on the shelf sat three pink pairs of shoes.
In came Miss Bell – now which did she choose?
“I need shoes for my party and ballet shoes too -
And these pretty pink slippers will certainly do.”
The shelf in the shoe shop stands empty and bare –
For the shoes were wrapped up for the girl with fair hair.
“Well, what other colour could I possibly choose?
Doesn’t every small girl deserve pretty pink shoes?”
