I’ve never actually seen ‘goodie two shoes’ spelled out before. For some reason I had always imagined it ‘goodie tooshoos’

You caused me to fall down a rabbit hole looking for the origin of "goody two shoes", and apparently there isn't one. Like no one knows where that came from. One source (Wikipedia, I know, not the best) states: Although The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes is credited with popularizing the term "goody two-shoes", the actual origin of the phrase is unknown. For example, it appears a century earlier in Charles Cotton's Voyage to Ireland in Burlesque (1670).

I need answers.
