In These Shoes

Kirsty MacColl · Other Songs - Kirsty MacColl

I once met a man with a sense of adventure

He was dressed to thrill wherever he went

He said "lets make love on a mountaintop

under the stars on a big hard rock"

I said "in these shoes? I dont think so."

I said "honey, lets do it here."



So I was sitting at a bar in Guadalajara

In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes

He said "I've 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

before the break of day."

I said "in these shoes? No way Jose."

I said "honey, let's stay right here."



No le gusta caminar,

No puede montar a caballo,

como se puede bailar?, es un escandalo



And then I met an Englishman. "Oh," he said, "what are you afraid of?"

Won't you walk up and down my spine?

It makes me feel strangely alive."

I said "in these shoes? 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



No le gusta caminar,

No puede montar a caballo,

como se puede bailar?, es un escandalo



Let's stay right here."
