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
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
but as is often the case
chewing gum and all
rainy day, muddy seashore
sorry i was bold
other shoes lookin'so good
oh! this fickle boy
one day she went away
from my shoe case
years have passed now i'm at case
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
my red shoes
my red shoes
my red shoes
