僕のレッド・シューズ物語

on my way home from school

i found her in a showcase

summer evening, the wind was cool

caught me her very grace

i made up my mind swore by my teacup

not to eat until my mother gives up

for my red shoes

so i won my red shoes and

walked around everywhere

christmas time i held the firebrand

blue hat in mayfair

big kangaroo in the zoo stopped saying coo

hate all blues i love snooze yes i won't lose

in my red shoes

but as is often the case

chewing gum and all

rainy day, muddy seashore

sorry i was bold

other shoes lookin' so good

oh！ this fickle boy

one day she went away

from my shoecase

years have passed now i'm at ease

on a limousine seat

wearing a dark brown suit

and sunglasses so neat

but once in a while drinking a glass of Pernod

i remember when i ran down on the snow

in my red shoes
