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
