[Verse 1]
On the lawn before the bouquet fell
Long before we heard the ringing bell
When all I want is a good look at your underside
Reading trash like it was Judy Blume
Your paperbacks are strewn about the room
Awaiting their instructions to be mobilized
[Chorus]
And everybody knows how it shakes and how it glows
Everybody knows and so it goes
That everybody wants their shoes in the sunshine now
[Verse 2]
Lazy Rayna had a million bucks
Changed into pennies on a hundred trucks
Cause linen’s legal tender for a layabout
Why hold your breath until your face turns blue?
A stretch of rope you know can do that too
The truth be told, no one likes a gadabout
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Everybody wants their shoes in the sunshine now
