CHORUS:
Caw-pee, Na’al, Chaussures, Ch’ama
Panet, Duu-taa, Ka-seu, Asuga
Sapato, Khabo, They’re all words for SHOES we say
So put on your SHOES and let’s go out to play
FORM 1
When I put my shoes on, I can walk forever,
In the city or country, in any kind of weather.
When I put my shoes on, I can hit the street;
They help me run fast,
Help me jump high,
And they protect my feet.
They help me run fast,
Help me jump high,
And they protect my feet. CHORUS
RAP – FORM 2:
NILO – There are many kinds of shoes for many uses,
FATUMA – Depends on what the user of the shoes chooses:
SAY PAW – Running shoes are good for running, of course;
ZIL – Boots are better if you’re riding a horse.
PAR THA – “Huaraches,” a kind of Mexican sandal,
RITA – Are worn when the ground is too hot to handle.
KLAY MOO – Soccer shoes are good for kicking a ball;
KER LER – Sneakers are good for sneaking down the hall.
ALL (SUNG)
You can put on your shoes when you go out to roam,
And put on your slippers when you come back home.
