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 happenin' to ya

 

Really happenin' to ya

 

Really happenin' to ya

 

Oh the minute I put them on

I knew, I had done somethin' wrong

All her gifts for the dance had gone

It's the red shoes, they can't stop dancin', dancin'
