° Intro: (X2) Verse 1: The cats are all crazy, Mona Lisa They try to say my future is stone They say they make all the right calls To all the right numbers that the fat cats know Verse 2: But these wheels were made for burning And these wings weren't meant to last In the end it's all fireworks and smoke rings A treacherous road baby, try not to crash And keep your singing voice golden And put your red shoes on I just want to sing motown, soul And buy my baby something nice to take home And I wanna dance with the poor girls in Europe I just wanna dance... And I wanna dance with the poor girls in Europe I just wanna dance Verse 3: After all it's just a crazy dream baby All these good cards burn up in a flash My, my it's getting late Cinderella Not long before these dresses turn right back to rags Verse 4: And don't forget about my homeboy We almost died at them gates Thank the good Lord for sending his angels... In a '49 Mercury for a lightning fast getaways And keep your singing voice golden And put your red shoes on I just want to sing motown, soul And buy my baby something nice to take home And I wanna dance with the poor girls in Europe I just wanna dance... And I wanna dance with the poor girls in Europe I just wanna dance Bridge: And not your friends, they all want to sell your blood And isn't that why everybody signs up Forget it baby, keep your eyes on that Cadillac And keep your feet dancing before they say you're too old And not your friends, they all want to sell your blood And isn't that why everybody signs up Forget it baby, keep your eyes on that Cadillac And keep your feet dancing before they say you're too old (and) And keep your singing voice golden And put your red shoes on I just want to sing rock and roll And buy my baby something nice to take home And keep your singing voice golden And put your red shoes on I just want to sing motown, soul And buy my baby something nice she can take home And keep your singing voice golden And put your red shoes on I just want to sing rhythm and blues And crack this old heart made of stone
