INTRO

VERSE
Put on your dancing shoes
We’re going out tonight
Put on your make-up good
‘coz we’re gonna paint the town red
We’ll get out of our heads tonight

VERSE
Don’t show you’ve lost your bottle
Here tonight
The engines are going full throttle
It’s time to loosen your shirt
We’ll stay out of the dirt tonight

CHORUS
Catching the late late show
In a dream world that she’ll never know
Pinching herself to remind her
Of just who she is
Next to tables and chairs
At her coffee she stares
Stirring the spoon round and round
Contemplating her feet on the floor
Could she ever have been any more
Wearing her dancing shoes
Dancing shoes

VERSE
Look out the storm is coming
You better get home
Make for the nearest shelter
‘coz when the daytime is near
Then the dream isn’t clear in her mind

CHORUS
Playing up to the crowd in her mind it’s so loud
Adulation and proud self esteem
A new world where she acts likes she’s queen
And she’s always seen
As she makes her retreat
To the corner seat
Remembering just who she is
Seeing herself on the screen
Wondering who she could have been
In her dancing shoes, in her dancing shoes
Dancing shoes
Dancing, dancing, dancing shoes

SOLO

Just your dancing shoes
Where are your dancing shoes?
Don’t give up your dancing shoes, oh
Shoes your dancing shoes
Dancing shoes, oh these shoes
Don’t give up your dancing shoes
