Lyrics
OLD SOCKS
I've worn them not too long, that's all I'll say,
And now I've go to place them in grandmas' old buffet.
But they sweved me well and now they've seen their day.
these darn old socks , they never last too long,
I always have put them in moth balls.
They served me well and now they've seen their day.
Chorus:
Served me well, oh so well.
Served me well, oh so well.
They served me well and now they've seen their day.
They come in colors of every hue,
And I have got some partiality toward a few.
They served me well, and now they've seen their day.
I wish that i could fix them, so well they all have done,
But socks with rips and holes hardly protect the feet of one.
They seved me well and now they've seen their day,
Chorus:
I fixed a few, I tried to fix the rest,
But some have passed beyond, they met their final test.
They served me well, and now they've seen their day.
I shed no big fat tears, it was duties call.
Cuz socks were made for feet, and when there's holes that's all,
They served me well and now they've seen their day.
Chorus:
The question I propose is simple it's true.
Isn't what I've done with socks done with people too?
They served me well, and now they've seen their day.
Chorus:
