In These Shoes

i once met a man with a sense of adventure

He was dressed to trill

Wherever he went he said

"let's make love on a mountain top

Under the stars, on a big hard rock"



I said, "in these shoes?  what is this, the peace corps?"

I said, "honey, let's do it here"



So we're sitting at a bar in guadalajara

In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes

He says, "i got a powerful horse outside

Climb on the back, i'll take you for a ride

I know a little place

We can get there 'fore the break of day"



I said "in these shoes?

No way jose"

I said "honey, let's stay right here



No le guta caminar

No puede montar a caballo

Como se puede bailar

Es un escandalo



Then i met an englishman

"oh," he said, "are you american?"

"won't you walk up and down on my spine

It makes me feel strangely alive"



I said, "in these shoes?

Oh, i doubt you'd survive"

I said, "honey, let's do it"



No le gusta caminar

No puede montar a caballo

Como se puede bailar

Es un escandalo
