In These Shoes - Lyrics by Bette Midler


Lyrics
"
Gentlemen, gentlemen please! Senors, por favor!"

I once met a man with a sense of adventure.

He was dressed to thrill wherever he went.

He said, "
Let's make love on a mountaintop,
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 sittin' at a bar in Guadalajara,
in walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes.

He says, "I've got a powerful horse outside.

Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride.
I know a little place we can get before the break of day."

I said, "
In these shoes? No way, Jose!"
I said, "
Honey, let's stay right here."


No le gusta caminar.

No puede montar a cabailo.?
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 . . . hehehehe"

"
Let's stay right here."


No le gusta caminar.

No puede montar a cabailo.?
Como se puede bailar?

Es un escandalo!


No le gusta caminar.

No puede montar a cabailo.?
Como se puede bailar?

Es un escandalo!


No le gusta caminar.

No puede montar a cabailo.?
Como se puede bailar?

Es un escandalo!


No le gusta caminar.

No puede montar a cabailo.?
Como se puede bailar?
