Bowling Shoes Two Sizes Too Big

by Safety Pin Saints

“Rented shoes with red and blue stripes, two sizes too big. We bowled terribly and we won anyway.”

Lyrics

Saturday night at the bowling lanes
Rented shoes with the red and blue stripes
Mine are two sizes too big
I walk like a duck on ice

My buddy Sam throws it in the gutter
Then he throws it in the next lane too
The man at the counter just sighs
And hands us a bumper or two

Ten pins standing there
Laughing at me

Roll it, roll it, down the lane
Big shoes slipping, I don't care
Gutter ball and we all cheer
Everybody's got a friend right here
Roll it, roll it, one more time
Lousy score but we're doing fine
Big shoes, big heart, loud and proud
Strike or no strike, sing it out loud

Pizza on the plastic table
Cheese on my chin and Sam's got some too
Lights go purple, music's loud
Nobody here has a clue

Ten pins standing there
Laughing at me

Roll it, roll it, down the lane
Big shoes slipping, I don't care
Gutter ball and we all cheer
Everybody's got a friend right here
Roll it, roll it, one more time
Lousy score but we're doing fine
Big shoes, big heart, loud and proud
Strike or no strike, sing it out loud

One pin left, just one
Sam holds his breath
I close my eyes and let it go
And the whole place goes quiet

Roll it, roll it, down the lane
Big shoes slipping, I don't care
It wobbles and it knocks it down
Best night ever in this town
Roll it, roll it, one more time
Lousy score but we're doing fine
Big shoes, big heart, loud and proud
Strike or no strike, sing it out loud

Big shoes, big heart
Roll it one more time
