Sidewalks Are Silly
Sidewalks are silly; nobody walks these days…
bicycles tricycles scooters or trains;
nobody walks these days, it's just not the same.
Treadmills and free weights yoga and zen;
Living your best life right up to the end…
Sidewalks are silly…I don’t mean to offend.
Nobody walks these days…no need to pretend
If you walk for a mile walk with a friend
sidewalks are silly; nobody walks these days,
Airplanes and rockets, satellites and stars
Nobody walks these days, driving in cars.
People and pets, doctors and vets
Just slow down…nobody walks these days
Flying in jets…nobody walks these days
Take it from me…nobody walks these days,
Do you want to walk with me?
