Oh she move like the diva do
\nI said “I’d love to dance like you”
\nShe said “Just take off my red shoes
\nPut them on and your dream’ll come true”<\/p>\n

With no words, with no song
\nYou can dance the dream, with your body on
\nAnd this curve, is your smile
\n(Yeah woo, yeah woo woo)
\nAnd this cross, is your heart
\n(Yeah woo, yeah woo woo)
\nAnd this line, is your path
\n(Yeah woo, yeah woo woo)<\/p>\n

Oh, it’s gonna be the way you always thought it would be
\nBut it’s gonna be no illusion
\nOh, it’s gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
\nBut it’s gonna be really happenin’ to ya
\nReally happenin’ to ya
\nReally happenin’ to ya<\/p>\n

Oh the minute I put them on
\nI knew, I had done somethin’ wrong
\nAll her gifts for the dance had gone
\nIt’s the red shoes, they can’t stop dancin’, dancin’<\/p>\n

And this curve, is your smile
\n(Yeah woo, yeah woo woo)
\nAnd this cross, is your heart
\n(Yeah woo, yeah woo woo)
\nAnd this line, is your path
\n(Yeah woo, yeah woo woo)<\/p>\n

Oh, it’s gonna be the way you always thought it would be
\nBut it’s gonna be no illusion
\nOh, it’s gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
\nBut it’s gonna be really happenin’ to ya’<\/p>\n

She gotta dance, she gotta dance
\nAnd she can’t stop ’til them shoes come off
\nThese shoes do, a kind of voodoo
\nThey’re gonna make her dance ’til her legs fall off<\/p>\n

Feel your hair come tumblin’ down
\nFeel your feet start kissin’ the ground
\nFeel your arms are openin’ out
\nAnd see your eyes are lifted to God<\/p>\n

With no words, with no song
\nI’m gonna dance the dream
\nAnd make the dream come true
\nI’m gonna dance the dream
\nAnd make the dream come true<\/p>\n

She gotta dance, she gotta dance
\n(Yeah)
\nAnd she can’t stop ’til them shoes come off
\nThese shoes do, a kind of voodoo
\n(Yeah)
\nThey’re gonna make her dance ’til her legs fall off
\nCall a doctor, call a priest
\nThey’re gonna whip her up like a helicopter<\/p>\n

Really happenin’ to ya
\nReally happenin’ to ya<\/p>\n

You gotta dance
\nYou gotta dance
\nYou gotta dance
\nYes<\/p>\n
