Lyric

I step from the wings in shine

Red shoes tapping, right on time

Velvet hush and a watchful crowd

I'm grinning sweet, but I'm singing loud

The bass walks slow, then shakes its hips

Piano hands and a wink on the lips

I swing that heel on the painted floor

Baby, I'm the girl you came here for

Hear that little click

Hear that little swing

My feet say yes

Before I sing

The curtain stirs

The horns lean in

I take one breath

And let it spin

Swing in red shoes

Swing in red shoes

Watch me move

Watch me move

Swing in red shoes

Swing in red shoes

I tap the night

And it taps me too

Clarinet curls like a ribbon trail

Trumpet answers with a shining sail

Brushes whisper on the snare

I turn my smile into a dare

Tiptoe, twirl, then a heel drag back

Sweet little spark in the blue-black track

Every step says, "Stay awhile"

Every step gets the crowd to smile

Hear that little click

Hear that little swing

My feet say yes

Before I sing

The band stands up

The room turns bright

I hit that step

And own the light

Swing in red shoes

Swing in red shoes

Watch me move

Watch me move

Swing in red shoes

Swing in red shoes

I tap the night

And it taps me too

When the midnight leans

I don't fade away

I turn that hush

Into a parade

One more turn

One more glow

Clap your hands

And off we go

Swing in red shoes

Swing in red shoes

Watch me move

Watch me move

Swing in red shoes

Swing in red shoes

I tap the night

And it taps me too

Swing in red shoes

Swing in red shoes

Red shoes swing

Till the curtain falls down
