"This is a song about a pair of crazed shoes CAPTAIN BEEFHEART wears."

Music by Davy Jones.

A brown felt top hat wrapped with a bow
Yellow wrap around girl-watchers that never show
His blue eyes, his blue eyes
What a fantastic disguise
He's so grand and fantastic, so wonderful.

The T of his T-strap stands for Tippie-Toes
His Tippie-Toes fit him to a T.
Oh C.B. do a tap dance for me.
With you bigga fat Tippie-Toe Theresa shoes.

A jacket with virgin, virgin button holes
Reaching for experienced buttons
Thin striped chords that circle his
Porcelain ankles funneling down to
The Captain's fat Theresa shoes.
