Oh she move like the Diva do

I said "I'd love to dance like you"

She said "Just take off my red shoes

Put them on and your dream'll come true

With no words with no song

You can dance the dream with your body on

ANd this curve is your smile

And this cross is your heart

And this line is your path



Oh it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be

But it's gonna be no illusion

Oh it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it

But it's gonna be really happening to ya

Really happening to ya

Really hapening to ya"



Oh the minute I put them on

I knew I had done something wrong

All her gifts for the dance had gone

It's the red shoes they can't stop dancing, dancing

And this curve is your smile

ANd this cross is your heart

And this line is your path



"Oh it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be

But it's gonna be no illusion

Oh it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it

But it's gonna be really happening to ya"



CHORUS

She gotta dance, she gotta dance

And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off

These shoes do a kind of voodoo

They're gonna make her dance till her legs fall off



Feel your hair come tumbling down

Feel your feet start kissing the ground

Feel your arms are opening out

And see your eyes are lifted to God

With no words, with no song

I'm gonna dance the dream

And make the dream come true

I'm gonna dance the dream

And make the dream come true



CHORUS



Call a doctor, call a priest

They're gonna whip her up like a helicopter



Really happening to ya

Really happening to ya



You gotta dance
