Polish Those Shoes Lyrics - Singles - Victoria Williams

Potato 2, potato 3, potato 4 

5 potato, 6 potato, 7 potato, more 

Better run and hide if they're searching for you 

Can you get home without them catching you? 

In your own private hiding place 

You can stand on your head 

You can bake a mud pie instead 

You can crawl through the brush 

Or you can tell the dog to hush 

You can [Incomprehensible] be careful 

You can make up your mind 

Or you can lose complete sense of time 

You can, somebody's ringing a bell 

It's hard to tell what it sounds like 

Oh, dinner bell or a wedding bell 

The game must be over, it is going 

It didn't catch you and you're home free 

Saturday night and the neighbors are having a ball 

You can hear Daddy's voice rise above them all 

He's got his belt in his hand and he's walking down the hall 

Us kids are fighting, us kids are fighting 

Sunday morning, getting ready for church 

We thought we looked fine, oh but it just wouldn't do 

You better polish those shoes, you better polish those shoes 

No one should see the dirt you've been through 

Get in there and polish those shoes 

Jesus down on bended knee 

With cloth in hand washed His disciples feet 

Us kids are fighting, us kids are fighting 

Fighting to be one, fighting to be theirs 

Fighting just to cover up the [Incomprehensible] 

[Incomprehensible] but be careful 

You can lay down on your knees 

You can ask whatever you please 

You can make up your mind 

Or you can lose complete sense of time 

(You can) 

In your own private hiding place 

(You can, you can) 

In your own private hiding place 

(You can) 

Yeah, you can, you can, you can, you can 

You can, you can, you can, you can 

Yeah, you can, you can 

One day, two day, three day, four 

One day, two day, three day, four 

One day, two day, three day, four 

Laughing, smiling, running, waiting
