Lyrics
You can tell about the manner of a man
By the shape of his head
It has been said
(You can?)
You can tell if his character is fine
By a line in his hand
I understand
(In his hand?)
But my own method of judging people I meet
Is by the way they use the shoes on their feet
There's the kind of walk you walk
When the world's undone you
There's the kind of walk you walk
When you're walkin' proud
There's the kind of walk you walk
When the neighbors shun you
There's the kind of walk you walk
Sets you 'bove the crowd
Now step out of here with the walk of the Will Mossup-to-be
And on the way out, Willie
You can hang the sign
(Sign?)
Our new shop sign
William Mossup?
Master bootmaker?
Well, by gum!
There's the kind of walk you walk
When you feel like crowing
There's the kind of walk you walk
When you're on your way
There's the kind of walk you walk
When your pride is showing
And the kind of walk you walk
When today's your day
There's the kind of walk you walk
When the world's all rainbows
And your heart's huffin' like a puffinjay
Good fortune's found you, chappy
And your life's a happy valentine
When you're walking happy
Don't the blooming world seem fine!
There's the kind of walk you walk
When you're feeling ample
There's the kind of walk you walk
When you're feeling low
There's the kind of walk you walk
Sets a fine example
Like the walk you take to church
For the Sunday row
There's the kind of walk you walk
When you're kind of lazy
And every daisy stops to contemplate
Your hazy state
Good fortune's found you, chappy
And your heart's a happy valentine
When you're walking happy
When you're walking happy
When you're walking happy
Don't the blooming world seem fine?
