Blue Suede Shoes 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.
You can do anything but lay off my blue suede shoes
You can knock me down step in my face
Slander my name all over the place
And do anything that you want to do
But uh uh honey lay off my shoes
And don't you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything but lay off my blue suede shoes.
Oh let's go cats
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 them shoes
And don't you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything but lay off my blue suede shoes
Rock
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 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
You can do anything but lay off my blue suede shoes
