My Red Shoes Story

on my way home from school
i found her in a showcase
summer evening, the wind was cool
caught me her very grace

on my way home from school
i found her in a showcase
summer evening, the wind was cool
caught me her very grace

i made up my mind swore by my teacup
not to eat until my mother gives up

for my red shoes (for my red shoes)
for my red shoes (for my red shoes)
for my red shoes (for my red shoes)
for my red shoes (for my red shoes)

so i won my red shoes and walked around everywhere
christmas time i held the firebrand blue hat in mayfair

big kangaroo in the zoo stopped saying coo
hate all blues i love snooze yes i won't lose

in my red shoes (in my red shoes)
in my red shoes (in my red shoes)
in my red shoes (in my red shoes)
in my red shoes (in my red shoes)

but as is often the case chewing gum and all
rainy day, muddy seashore sorry i was bold(sorry i was bold)

other shoes lookin' so good oh! this fickle boy
one day she went away from my shoecase years have passed

now i'm at ease on a limousine seat
wearing a dark brown suit and sunglasses so neat

but once in a while drinking a glass of Pernod
i remember when i ran down on the snow

in my red shoes (in my red shoes)
in my red shoes (in my red shoes)
in my red shoes (in my red shoes)
in my red shoes (in my red shoes)
