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
You can do anything but lay 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 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 blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
You can do anything but stay off of my blue suede, play it again

Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede
You can do anything but stay off of my blue suede shoes

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,
You can do anything but lay off-a my blue suede shoes!

Well you can knock me down, step in my face,
Slander my name all over the place,
And do anything you wanna do,
But uh-uh honey, lay off-a my shoes!
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes,
You can do anything but lay off-a my blue suede shoes!

Aaah, go cat!

Well you can burn my house, steal my car,
Drink my liquor from my old fruit jar,
Do anything that you wanna do,
But uh-uh honey, lay off-a them shoes!
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes,
You can do anything but lay off-a my blue suede shoes!
Rap!

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,
You can do anything but lay off-a my blue suede shoes!

Well it's blue, blue, blue suede shoes,
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes, yeah!
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes, yeah!
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes,
You can do anything but lay off-a my blue suede shoes!
