In These Shoes Lyrics

I once met a man with a sense of adventure

He was dressed to trill

Wherever he went he said

"Let's make love on a mountain top

Under the stars, on a big hard rock"

I said, "In these shoes? What is this, the Peace Corps?"

I said, "Honey, let's do it here"

So we're sitting at a bar in Guadalajara

In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes

He says, "I got a powerful horse outside

Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride

I know a little place

We can get there 'fore the break of day"

I said "In these shoes?

No way Jose"

I said "Honey, let's stay right here

No le guta caminar

No puede montar a caballo

Como se puede bailar

Es un escandalo

Then I met an Englishman

"Oh," he said, "Are you American?"

"Won't you walk up and down on my spine

It makes me feel strangely alive"

I said, "In these shoes?

Oh, I doubt you'd survive"

I said, "Honey, let's do it"

No le gusta caminar

No puede montar a caballo

Como se puede bailar

Es un escandalo
