Well it's a one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready now go cat go and don't cha,
Step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but stay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well you can knock me down,
Step on my face,
Slander my name all over the place.
Do anything that you wanna do,
But ah ha honey lay off of them shoes and don't cha,
Step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything but stay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well you can rob my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar,
Do anything that you wanna do,
But ah ha honey lay off of them shoes and don't cha,
Step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything but stay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well it's a...blue blue, blue suede shoes baby,
Blue blue, blue suede shoes honey,
Blue blue, blue suede shoes darlin'
Blue blue, blue suede shoes,
Well you can do anything but stay off of my blue suede shoes.
