The Red Shoes [The Red Shoes]

 

                Oh she move like the Diva do

                I said "I'd love to dance like you."

                She said "just take off my red shoes

                Put them on and your dream'll come true

                With no words, with no song

                You can dance the dream with your body on

                And this curve,

                                "Yah-hoo"

                Is your smile.

                                "Yah-hoo"

                And this cross,

                                "Yah-hoo"

                Is your heart.

                                "Yah-hoo"

                And this line,

                                "Yah-hoo"

                Is your path.

                                "Yah-hoo"

 

                Oh it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be

                But it's gonna be no illusion

                Oh it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it

                But it's gonna be really happening to ya

                Really happening to ya

                Really happening to ya"

 

                Oh the minute I put them on

                I knew I had done something wrong

                All her gifts for the dance had gone

                It's the red shoes, they can't stop dancing, dancing

                And this curve,

                                "Yah-hoo"

                Is your smile.

                                "Yah-hoo"

                And this cross,

                                "Yah-hoo"

                Is your heart.

                                "Yah-hoo"

                And this line,

                                "Yah-hoo"

                Is your path.

                                "Yah-hoo"

 

                "Oh it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be

                But it's gonna be no illusion

                Oh it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it

                But it's gonna be really happening to ya"

 

                                She gotta dance, she gotta dance

                                And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off

                                The shoes do, a kind of voodoo

                                They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off

 

                Feel your hair come tumbling down

                Feel your feet start kissing the ground

                Feel your arms are opening out

                And see your eyes are lifted to God

                With no words, with no song

                I'm gonna dance the dream

                And make the dream come true

                I'm gonna dance the dream

                And make the dream come true

 

                                She gotta dance, she gotta dance

                Yeah

                                And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off

                                And the shoes do, a kind of voodoo, yeah

                                They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off

                                Call a doctor, call a priest

                                They're gonna whip her up like a helicopter

 

                Really happening to ya

                Really happening to ya

 

                You gotta dance

                You gotta dance

                You gotta dance

                                Yeah!
