“Goodbye Sandals, Hello Boots” written by Nina Ricci Chorus Goodbye sandals, hello boots! I thought it would be warm where I put down roots But after two weeks in the sun, I felt the weather shifting Sooner came the night and the colored leaves a-drifting Verse 1 Windchimes are louder and my hat won’t stay on Skirts are getting longer and scarves are hanging on Mannequins in shopping malls, Where men are buying wedding rings For ladies who they plan to marry in the spring Verse 2 Everyone’s buying pumpkin spiced candles Cinnamon flavor and warm apple pies I’m not ready for the cold and snowy weather I’ll wear shortsleeves as long as I don’t get frostbite Chorus Goodbye sandals, hello boots! I thought it would be warm where I put down roots But after two weeks in the sun, I felt the weather shifting Sooner came the night and the colored leaves a-drifting Verse 3 Men are pulling overcoats, over ugly sweaters The mailman has more mail than he can haul in just a load And some people lose their cool over deals they couldn’t get I’m scanning while I’m melting as they’re breathing down my neck! Verse 4 Kids are cutting snowflakes from the Sunday morning news Women try new hairdos for to kick the winter blues Chimney smoke is blowing over dark and empty roads And wherever snow is falling there is always something wet Chorus Goodbye sandals, hello boots! I thought it would be warm where I put down roots But after two weeks in the sun, I felt the weather shifting Sooner came the night and the colored leaves a-drifting Verse 5 There are mile-long coffee lines: standing room only Make reservations two months ahead of time For cheap seats in steamy cafes Where girls write “I ‘heart’ my boyfriend” On windows where permanence is questionable, but it freezes that way Verse 6 Honestly, I’m sick o’ throwin’ cards out by the dozen “Happy” this, and “Merry” that and another years’ gone by I can’t afford a Hallmark card... Don’t judge me! But I care for you throughout the year the same as at this time The same as at this time! Chorus Goodbye sandals, hello boots! I thought it would be warm where I put down roots But after two weeks in the sun, I felt the weather shifting Sooner came the night and the colored leaves a-drifting Chorus Goodbye sandals, hello boots! I thought it would be warm where I put down roots But after two weeks in the sun, I felt the weather shifting Sooner came the night and the colored leaves a-drifting Tag Goodbye Sandals, Hello Boots

Chorus
Goodbye sandals, hello boots!
I thought it would be warm where I put down roots
But after two weeks in the sun, I felt the weather shifting
Sooner came the night and the colored leaves a-drifting

Verse 1
Wind chimes are louder and my hat won’t stay on
Skirts are getting longer and scarves are hanging on
Mannequins in shopping malls,
Where men are buying wedding rings
For ladies who they plan to marry in the spring

Verse 2
Everyone’s buying pumpkin spiced candles
Cinnamon flavor and warm apple pies
I’m not ready for the cold and snowy weather
I’ll wear shortsleeves as long as I don’t get frostbite

Chorus
Goodbye sandals, hello boots!
I thought it would be warm where I put down roots
But after two weeks in the sun, I felt the weather shifting
Sooner came the night and the colored leaves a-drifting

Verse 3
Men are pulling overcoats, over ugly sweaters
The mailman has more mail than he can haul in just a load
And some people lose their cool over deals they couldn’t get
I’m scanning while I’m melting as they’re breathing down my neck!

Verse 4
Kids are cutting snowflakes from the Sunday morning news
Women try new hairdos for to kick the winter blues
Chimney smoke is blowing over dark and empty roads
And wherever snow is falling there is always something wet

Chorus
Goodbye sandals, hello boots!
I thought it would be warm where I put down roots
But after two weeks in the sun, I felt the weather shifting
Sooner came the night and the colored leaves a-drifting

Verse 5
There are mile-long coffee lines: standing room only
Make reservations two months ahead of time
For cheap seats in steamy cafes
Where girls write “I ‘heart’ my boyfriend”
On windows where permanence is questionable, but it freezes that way

Verse 6
Honestly, I’m sick o’ throwin’ cards out by the dozen
“Happy” this, and “Merry” that and another years’ gone by
I can’t afford a Hallmark card... Don’t judge me!
But I care for you throughout the year the same as at this time
The same as at this time!

Chorus
Goodbye sandals, hello boots!
I thought it would be warm where I put down roots
But after two weeks in the sun, I felt the weather shifting
Sooner came the night and the colored leaves a-drifting

Repeat Chorus
