	Story Behind the Song This is my most popular kid's song.. but adults always request it in grownups concerts. It was first recorded by Al Simmons and he popularized it first. When I began writing Comic songs for Arthur Black's CBC show, it became an often-requested favourite....s Lyrics GYPSY SOCK I don't like being worn, That's all I've been since I was born, Toenails cut like a knife, It's a sad sock's life, I don't wanna be stuffed in a drawer, Or stuck in someone's smelly shoe anymore, I don't want a sticky foot in me, I just want to be free, free, free. Chorus: I want to run with the wild hose, Where pens and pencils and guitar picks go, I want to dance at the free sock hop, I want to be a gypsy sock I want to be a gypsy sock. I don't want to be part of a pair, Or in the wash with dirty underwear, Or tickled by some yucky toes, Or made to walk where socks don't like to go, Like hanging from a line by my heel, Or getting darned , I hate the way that feels, Or getting stretched across a nobby knee, I want to be free, free, free Chorus: Someday soon I'll get my chance, I will hide inside a pair of pants, When they open up the dryer door, I'll escape across the laundry floor, Then I'll be out on the street, Not attached to a pair of feet, Free as the nose that blows, I will be free to go, CHORUS: © JAMES GORDON Pipe Street Publishing1992 ı
