Shoes With Wings On (from "The Barkleys Of Broadway")

Shoes With Wings On - Fred Astaire

When I've got shoes with wings on

The winter's gone the spring's on

When I've got shoes with wings on

The town is full of rhythm

And the world's in rhyme

The neon city glows up

My pretty pretty shows up

We'll dance until they close up

Got my guardian angel working overtime

I give aladdin the lamp midas the gold

Who needs a wizard or magician

In the old tradition

That's not competition

I've got 'em beat a thousand fold

Why

'Cause I've got shoes with wings on

And living has no strings on

I put those magic things on

And I go flying with 'em

And the town is full of rhythm

The world's in rhyme

When I've got shoes with wings on

The winter's gone the spring's on

When I've got shoes with wings on

The town is full of rhythm

And the world's in rhyme

The neon city glows up

My pretty pretty shows up

We'll dance until they close up

Got my guardian angel working overtime

I give aladdin the lamp midas the gold

Who needs a wizard or magician

In the old tradition

That's not competition

I've got 'em beat a thousand fold

Why

'Cause I've got shoes with wings on

And living has no strings on

I put those magic things on

And I go flying with 'em

And the town is full of rhythm

The world's in rhyme
