Snakeskin Shoes - The Tiger Lillies

Split your guts, sing the blues

And at parties never mind your Ps and Qs

And the pimps, well they all wear snakeskin shoes

Mr. Hammond, at a clip joint

Some recordings he wishes to anoint

And the pimps, well they all wear snakeskin shoes

Sitting beside the side of the road

Bleeding to death, well watch your blood flow

Opera singers, do their thing

Bessie slaps them on the back as they do sing

And the pimps, well they all wear snakeskin shoes
