Give me the gift of a grip top sock,
A dip-drape, ship-shape, tip-top sock,
Not your spiv-slick, slap-stick, slip-slop stock,
But a plastic elastic grip-top sock.
None of your fantastic slack swap-slop
From a slapdash, flash cash, haberdash shop.
Not a knick-knack, knit-lock, knock-kneed knickerbocker sock
With a mock-shot, blob-mottled trick tick-tocker clock.
Not a rucked-up, puckered up flop-top sock,
Not a super-sheer, seersucker pukka sack-smock sock.
Not a spot speckled, frog-freckled cheap sheik’s sock
Off a hotch-potch, moss-blotched botched Scotch block.
Nothing slip-slop, drip-drop, flip-flop or clip-clop.
Tip me a tip-top grip-top sock.
