(M. Knopfler)

She's going shopping for shoes

She wants them in magenta and Caribbean blue

Platinum and buttercup lilac and black

They fill a bucket up and laugh behind her back

Imelda baby Imelda baby what to do

All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you

In New York and Paris on the Champs Elyse

They see her coming from a long way

They clap their hands together when they get her in their store

She's gonna wanna get more more more and more and more

Imelda baby Imelda baby what to do

All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you

Everyone's gone Jackie

She was a regular here

We thought madame would like to know

We've got the blood red rouge right here

Now we've got all of madame's requisites and all in madame's size

Madame's taste is truly exquisite she must accessorise

The belts are alligator the bags are kangaroo

Enchant may I say the jade was made for you

Imelda baby Imelda baby what to do

All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you

Imelda baby Imelda baby what to do

All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you
