Lyrics: Bette Midler. Bette. In These Shoes.

I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to trill
Wherever he went he said
"let?s make love on a mountain top
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 sitting at a bar in Guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He says, "I got a powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, I?ll take you for a ride
I know a little place
We can get there ?fore the break of day"

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

No le guta caminar
No puede montar a caballo
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"

No le gusta caminar
No puede montar a caballo
Como se puede bailar
Es un escandalo
