Man, oh, man, them things are too big

Oh, your feet's too big

Don't want ya 'cause your feet's too big

Mad at you 'cause your feet's too big

I hate ya 'cause your feet's too big

Are you good? Is that good?

This Chinese bamboo ain't strong.

I can't believe you got me out here.

Forget about the bamboo,

we gotta go solve a crime.

There 's more to life

Than this old place, hey

Put your dreams in suitcase

Go to explore another land

Stand in a spot you never planned

You can scoot

Or put down roots

Use my boot

I'll be there too

You can scoot

Or put down roots

Use my boot

They'll be there too

You'll meet new folks

And listen close

This song hits brand-new notes

Our town 's not great

But nothin ' wrong

Far from the world where we belong

You can scoot

Or put down roots

Use my boot

I'll be there too

You can scoot

Put down roots

Use my boot

They'll be there too

Sit before me

Tell your story

Now here I'm close to you

Pocket a book

Of letters you got

I'll tell it better than you thought

You can scoot

Or put down roots

Use my boot

I'll be there too

You can scoot

Put down roots

Use my boot

I'll be there too

You can scoot

Put down your roots

Use my boots

They'll be there too
