LYRICS

Well, it's one for the money, two for the show

Three to get ready now go, cat, go

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes

Well, you can do anything but

Stay off of my blue suede shoes

Well, you can knock me down, step in my face

Slander my name all over the place

Do anything that you want to do

But uh-uh honey, lay off them shoes

And don't you step on my blue suede shoes

Oh, you can do anything but stay off of my blue suede shoes

You can burn my house, steal my car

Drink my liquor from an old fruit-jar

Do anything that you want to do

But uh-uh honey, lay off of my shoes

And don't you step on my blue suede shoes

You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes

Well, it's one for the money, two for the show

Three to get ready now go, go, go

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes

Well, you can do anything but stay off of my blue suede shoes

Well, it's blue, blue, blue suede shoes

Blue, blue, blue suede shoes, yeah!

Blue, blue, blue suede shoes, baby

Blue, blue, blue suede shoes

Well, you do anything but stay off of my blue suede shoes
