Malvina Reynolds: Song Lyrics and Poems  



One Shoe

Notes: words and music by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1970 Schroder Music Company, renewed 1998.


Chorus:
Little Rosie Ree, she's only got one shoe,
One shoe, one shoe, one shoe, shoe,
And where did the other shoe go?

The old fat crow,
He came and he took it
And away he flew,
And where he put it,
I don't know.

(Chorus)

The wiggle tail fish,
He came and he took it
And he swam away,
And where he put it,
He wouldn't say.

(Chorus)

The green hoppy frog
He came and he took it
And he jumped down the well,
And where he put it,
He wouldn't tell.

(Chorus)

The yellow fellow squirrel
He came and he took it
And skooted up a tree,
And where he put it
He wouldn't tell me.

(Chorus)

The brown eye fox
He came and took it
And popped down a hole,
And where he put it
He didn't tell a soul.
