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 is your smile And this cross is your heart And this line is your path 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 is your smile And this cross is your heart And this line is your path 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 These shoes do a kind of voodoo They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off Feel your hair come tumbling down Fell 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 a dream And make the dream come true I'm gonna dance a dream And make the dream come true She gotta dance She gotta dance And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off These shoes do a kind of voodoo 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
