French Shoes Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Written by: John Mellencamp 

He was a good lookin' guy. 

Stood about six foot three, 

Long brown hair 

As nice as he could be. 

Everybody liked him 

But he didn't have a clue, 

He looked silly as hell 

In those funny French shoes.

You know the type 

Without any heels, 

Leather soles, 

Kind of a slip on deal. 

He was cavalier 

Whether he'd win or lose 

But he looked silly as hell 

In those funny French shoes. 

I know it's not right 

To judge a man by his clothes, 

By the way that he looks 

Or the people he may know. 

I'm embarrassed to say 

If I had to choose 

I could never really trust 

Any man wearing those funny French shoes.

Funny French shoes, 

Funny French shoes, 

No man should be wearin' 

Those funny French shoes. 

They look good on a woman's foot. 

I must say that they do 

But no guy should be wearin' 

Those funny French shoes. 

Get some socks on, man!
