My Red Shoes Story (Remastered 2006)

On my way home from school

I found her in a shoe case

Summer evening, the wind was cool

Caught me her very grace

On my way home from school

I found her in a shoe case

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 (my red shoes)

My red shoes (my red shoes)

My red shoes (my red shoes)

My red shoes (my red shoes)

So I wore 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 (my red shoes)

My red shoes (my red shoes)

My red shoes (my red shoes)

My red shoes (my red shoes)

But as is often the case

Chewing gum and all

Rainy day, muddy seashore

Sorry I was bold

Other shoes looking so good

Oh, this fickle boy

One day she went away

From my shoe case

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 (my red shoes)

My red shoes (my red shoes)

My red shoes (my red shoes)

My red shoes (my red shoes)
