What's this song about?

1
It was forty or fifty years ago
2
A big shot played with time
3
Mister Walker held the door
4
And both kept cord and line
5
Watched and checked
6
On every single day
7
Building his own special cars
8
His very special way
9
Ooh, the new soft shoe
10
Ooh, the new soft shoe
11
And then walking through a southern road
12
I saw a shoeshine stand
13
A man was talking to a crowd
14
Holding slippers in his hands
15
Don't you know the same thing happens
16
Each and every day?
17
Did you ever hear a song
18
That's hard to even play?
19
Ooh, the new soft shoe
20
Ooh, the new soft shoe
21
Then a color TV broadcast
22
Snuck from New Orleans
23
Showed me one more man who spoke
24
And wore bright blue and green
25
When you saw him talk his way
26
Was when he showed his claws
27
And spoke to people every day
28
Just to get applause
29
Ooh, the new soft shoe
30
Ooh, the new soft shoe
