I know a shoe salesman he’s an acquaintance of mine
One day he showed me some marks on his arms in a line
I did not know what to say do you think those freckles will stay
I need a popsicle do you want lemon or lime
I’ve got a special today if you’ve got the time
Winking she pokes me in the side well we could go for a ride yeah
I did not know what to say do you think those freckles will stay heh
Well you think that she will see yeah heh I don’t think she will see yeah heh
