The old flag rose
That was red, white, and blue.
That old flag rose
In my wooden shoes.
In my wooden shoes
I hold up that flag,
Despite so many flaws.
I hold up that flag

In my wooden shoes.
In my wooden shoes.

She wore a bow
That covered her hair.
She wore a bow.
In her wooden shoes.
In her wooden shoes.
Her hand knit dresses
Are now faded in color.
Her hand knit dresses
In her wooden shoes.
In her wooden shoes.

From the beaches of Normandy
, From the winter of Strasbourg.
And evenings in Tokyo,
The girl of Tokyo and Strasbourg.
In her wooden shoes.
