Jack Johnson - Bubble Toes Meaning

Bubble Toes Lyrics

It's as simple as something that nobody knows that her eyes are as big
as her bubbly toes
on the feet of a queen of the hearts of the cards and her feet are all
covered with tar balls and scars
It's as common as something that nobody knows...

   Tar balls and scars on her feet, big bubbly toes...
   Black tar heroin comes in balls. It's often shot up in feet to hide the scars it leaves behind,also making toes swell up, hence bubble toes.
   So is it about a walk on the beach or maybe a drug that will follow her everywhere up the hill in the back of her house..
   The great thing about music,one song:1,000 different interpretations

   tar balls are oil seeps that most surfers get on their feet so he would be referring to walking on the beach and seeing as he used to surf professionally he would have had this happen. he is talking about how he met his wife Kim at the DLG at the University of California, Santa Barbra.

   This one is easy. Jack went to UCSB where the beach has a lot of "tar balls" from natural oil seeps. Most surfers get these on their feet on occasion. Jack is apparently describing his wife's cute toes and his walks on the beach together. Not sure about the reference to "scars".

   bubble toes was my first and favorite jack johnson song. I don't know where but somewhere I heard that the bubble toes are about kim having tar balls stuck underneath because they were on the beach. This might be complete bullshit, too... no idea.

   Bubble toes is about Jack Johnson's wife and how he met her in college. The Bubble toes refers to his wifes big toes that he makes fun of.
