Gypsy Sock
© 1992 James Gordon
from Songs For Kids on Pipe Street Records
I don't like being worn, That's all I've been since I was born,
Toenails cut like a knife, It's a sad sock's life,
I don't wanna be stuffed in a drawer,
Or stuck in someone's smelly shoe anymore,
I don't want a sticky foot in me,
I just want to be free, free, free.
Chorus:
I want to run with the wild hose,
Where pens and pencils and guitar picks go,
I want to dance at the free sock hop,
I want to be a gypsy sock
I want to be a gypsy sock.
I don't want to be part of a pair,
Or in the wash with dirty underwear,
Or tickled by some yucky toes,
Or made to walk where socks don't like to go,
Like hanging from a line by my heel,
Or getting darned, I hate the way that feels,
Or getting stretched across a nobby knee,
I want to be free, free, free
Chorus:
Gypsy Sock, Gypsy Sock,
I want to be a Gypsy Sock
Someday soon I'll get my chance,
I will hide inside a pair of pants,
When they open up the dryer door,
I'll escape across the laundry floor,
Then I'll be out on the street,
Not attached to a pair of feet,
Free as the nose that blows,
I will be free to go,
CHORUS:
