Shoes With Wings On Lyrics

Shoes With Wings On Text

---

Verse:

Aladdin had a wonderful lamp,
King Midas had the touch of gold;
In magic they had many a champ
Back in the days of old.
But magic was in its infancy:
Today they'd ring no bell.
Today they'd mimic
Me and my gimmick,
To cast a spell.

Chorus:

When I've got shoes with wings on,
The winter's gone, the spring's on;
When I've got shoes with wings on,
The town is full of rhythm and the world's in rhyme.
The Neon City glows up,
My pretty, pretty shows up,
We'll dance until they close up.
Got my guardian angel working overtime.
I give Aladdin the lamp, Midas the gold,
Who needs a wizard or magician
In the old tradition?
That's not competition!
I've got 'em beat a thousand fold!
Why?
'Cause I've got shoes with wings on,
And living has no strings on;
I put those magic things on,
And I go flying with 'em
And the town is full of rhythm
And the world's in rhyme,
Happens ev'ry time,
Put my shoes with wings on.
Yes, siree, the world's in rhyme.
