Old Man in Little Boys Shoes - Words
Words/music JohnO'Dea
In the garden with his Tonka toys
Like an old man but just a little boy
With a smile that could light a thousand towns
Eyes wide open 'til the sun goes down
His world's a busy place...
With his front end loader and his truck to cart
Piles of dirt all 'round the yard
Then he's out on the lawn with his cricket bat
'Cos mum told him to put his footy back
Windows, he's broken a few
HE'S ALWAYS WAND'RIN 'ROUND THE PLACE
WITH HIS AKUBRA HAT, SHOES DRAGGIN' ALACE
GOT QUESTION TO ASK
WHAT AND WHY DAD DON'T WALK SO FAST
I WANNA COME WITH YOU
THIS OLD MAN IN LITTLE BOYS SHOES
HE'S LIKE AN' OLD IN BOYS SHOES
Like a shadow strong on a sunny day
He's always there, sometimes in the way
Happy to do the simplest things little boys world a little boys dreams
His world's a busy place...
Feeds the chooks, collects the eggs
Breaks a few, but what the heck
He's first in the ute when we're checking sheep
Wants a ride in the tractor when we're sowing wheat
His world's a busy place...
HE'S ALWAYS WOND'RIN 'ROUND PLACE
WITH HIS AKUBRA HAT SHOES DRAGGIN' LACE
SWEARS A BIT, WHERE DID HEAR THAT
AROUND SHEEP DOG WOULDN'T COME BACK
KNOWS WHAT WORDS TO USE
THIS OLD IN LITTLE BOYS SHOES
HE'S LIKE AN OLD IN BOYS SHOES
At the end of the day when the sun goes down
This little old man covers no more ground
With his hat and his shoes at the end of the bed
This little old man he needs his rest, sleepin's all he can do...
