37 KIDS IN A GREAT BIG SHOE

37 kids in a great big shoe, a great big shoe, a great big shoe

37 kids in a great big shoe

What’s our mom gonna do?

My name is Lou, I live in  shoe

with my brothers and my sisters and my mom and dad, too

It's thirty feet long, shiny and black

toe in the front, heel in the back

chorus

See, we make a big mess and we make a big noise

18 girls and 19 boys

Sometimes we fight, we try to get along

We used to have a nanny but she didn't stay long

My best friend Julie and my best friend Pete

Live in the slipper across the street

But we never go near the end of the block

There's a mean man livin' in an old gym sock

chorus

Our daddy works, he's gone all day

Down at the pump where he earns his pay

We stay here with good ol' mom

She says we ought to have our own sitcom

See, we make a big noise, we make a big mess

Mom says we mostly make a thing called “stress”

We make our beds, we never throw food

But sometimes Mom's in a kinda bad mood

chorus

We asked our mom, cause we never knew

Why do we live in a great big shoe?

She shook her head and laughed a bit

She said a smaller shoe and we wouldn't all fit!

37 kids in a grat big shoe, a great big shoe, a great big shoe

37 kids in a grat big shoe

We love our Mom and she loves us, too!
