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
Feel 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 the dream
And make the dream come true
I'm gonna dance the 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....
