Years before I was born father told this to me
It was one christmas morning in 73
There was one lonely gift nestled under the tree
My grandfather said don't touch my
He said boy listen close I am saying this once
These were worn by my parents and their parent's parent's
Now they're yours but be sure to guard them with your life
He said don't ever let them
You could force feed trash
I'd let you kick my balls
Before I even thought about letting someone
You'll have to take my life
You'll have to kill my mom
You'll have to BREAK MY LEGS
Father said you're my son
So I'll tell you the truth
I wore clogs without socks
Protect them with your life
I pray you never let them
I'd let you shave my head
I'd even butt chug bleach
And make me drink your sweat
You'd have to shoot me dead
Before I ever let you touch my clogs
To keep them safe until my child is at least 25
Then I will pass the clogs to them and they'll wear them with pride
And every single day from then they'll make sure no one has
They're the one thing I love
The only thing that makes me sure there's a god up above
Those wooden clogs on my feet yeah they fit like a glove
And I would give up everything before I ever let you
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my clogs to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the lord my clogs to take
You could force feed trash
I'd let you kick my balls
You'll have to take my life
You'll have to kill my mom
You'll have to break my legs
