Dancing Shoes - Cliff Richard

Dancing Shoes

Cliff Richard

(Hank Marvin - Bruce Welch, COLUMBIA DB 4977, 1963)

You must have heard of a little bo peep
she was the gal with all the sheep
Well one day, it's sad to say
The sheep all went away
She was lonely she was blue
She was sad and a-crying too
So I told her what to do
I said, put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
And dance a way your blues

A friend of mine had an accident
Laughed so hard off the wall he went
Humpty dumpty was his name
I guess you've heard the same
He was a lying on the ground
A bits and pieces all around
So I told him what to do
I said, a-put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
And dance a way your blues

I'm sure you know about Jack and Jill
They're the ones that went up the hill
Jack fell down and broke his crown
Jill came tumbling after
What a noise their crying made
It was a ringing through the glade
So I told him what to do
And I changed their tears to laughter
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
And dance a way your blues

Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
