(Pass me by, pass me by
If you don't happen
To like it, pass me by)
I got me ten fine toes
To wiggle in the sand
Lots of idle
Fingers snap to my command
A loverly pair of heels
That kick
To beat the band
Contemplating nature
Can be fascinating
Add to these a nose
That I can thumb
And a mouth
By gum have I
So tell
The whole wide world
If you don't happen
To like it
Deal me out
Thank you kindly
Pass me by

(Pass me by, pass me by

Behold me two great shoes
That never saw a shine
Houses I could hold up
With a laundry line

A loverly patch that hide
An awful lot of spine
Shirtails flying
I'm a blooming dandelion
Add to these
A grin from ear to ear
All the proper gear have I
So tell
The whole wide world
If you don't like
The thought of it
Bail me out
Thank you kindly
Pass me by
