Put On Your Dancing Shoes
Cliff Richard · Other Songs - Cliff Richard
She was the gal with all the sheep
Well, one day, it's too sad to say
The sheep all ran away
She was lonely she was blue
She was sad and crying too
So I told her what to do
I said, "Put on your dancing shoes"
(Chorus)Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
And dance away your blues
Umm-mm, yeah-yeah
A friend of mine had an accident
Laughed so hard, off a wall he went
Humpty Dumpty was his name
I guess you've heard the same
He was lyin' on the ground
A bits and pieces all around
So I told him what to do
I said, "Put on your dancing shoes"
(Repeat Chorus)
Umm-mm, yeah-yeah
I'm sure you know about Jack and Jill
They're the ones that went up the hill
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after
What a noise their crying made
It was a ringin' through the glade
And so I told them what to do
And I changed their tears to laughter
(Repeat Chorus)
Umm, put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
