Testi

Disc jockey, drop the bass. Now the hats

You know it's rather a bit of a bore to be told

By the interweb trolls that your footwear's incorrect

Or you've got the wrong soles

It's tricky, true, as the Reverend Darryl said

To rock a shoe to complement the threads

The continental tread or the leather undersole

Both wonderful of course, but they appear to have taken their toll

On the goves who ape the rules

(Ha ha, the pecker valley fools!)

I rock a shoe to complement occasions

But when I do it seems I'm causing complications

Call me a bounder, call me a wack

Either way I'm old school from a time before crack

I want the chaps to know that I shan't let them down

And the b-boys to know who wears the crown

So rap chap purists, do your worst

You can break the rules only if you know the rules first

Shell toes or brogues? Brogues or shell toes?

It's a conundrum that's hell for fellows

When you tear the rules apart you can shake them

Only once you know the rules you can start to break them

Oxford days, British nights

Broguing scenes or three black stripes

A tricky choice for the chap of man

Chelsea boots or slipper-esque Vans?

Both red herrings with no bearing on the matter in hand

To understand that on which a fellow stands

I know a decent cobblers but I'm troubled by the problems

I'd rather nobble them

I'm sympathetic to many an aesthetic

I'm poetic when I'm peda-patetic

But it's quite pathetic to be squabbling over footwear

It's not cricket, it's downright quare

So when I'm at a social affair

I'm aware that my footwear should match the flair

With which I rock the mic for princes or tykes

I am who I am and I like what I like, but

Shell toes or brogues? Brogues or shell toes?

It's a conundrum that's hell for fellows

When you tear the rules apart you can shake them

Only once you know the rules you can start to break them

Shell toes or brogues? Brogues or shell toes?

Ask a chap connoisseur, he well knows

The rules of the chap must remain on top

But they're still hop in chap hop

Bring it on down

Train or shoe? Shoe

Slippers or boots? Boots

Low or high top? High top

Can't stop, shan't stop

So there's the conundrum, I'm wondering what's for the best

To keep it real or put it to the test

My foot is in the best place it can be

When the appropriate occasion is decided by me

If you've got a better bit of leather, whether sneaker or shoe

You better weather what's enveloping you

I rock the unexpected in the name of art

And I'm a true chap hopper at heart

You surely know it!

Shell toes or brogues? Train or shoe?

Shell toes or brogues? Slippers or boots?

Shell toes or brogues? Low or high top?

Shell toes or brogues? Can't stop, shan't stop!

Shell toes or brogues? Brogues or shell toes?

It's a conundrum that's hell for fellows

When you tear the rules apart you can shake them

Only once you know the rules you can start to break them

Shell toes or brogues? Brogues or shell toes?

Ask a chap connoisseur, he well knows

The rules of the chap must remain on top

But they're still hop in chap hop

Bring it on down
