text: She wore red shoes by the newsstand
  As the rain splashed the nickel
  And spilled like chablis all along the midway
  Theres a little blue jay
  In a red dress on a sad night
  One straw in a root beer
  A compact with a cracked mirror
  A bottle of evening in Paris perfume
  Whats this sad tune
  He told her to wait in by the magazines
  To take care of some business it seems
  Bring a raincoat
  Bring a suitcase
  Bring your dark eyes
  And wear those red shoes
  Theres a dark huddle at the bus stop
  Umbrellas arranged in a sad bouquet
  Lil Caesar got caught
  He was going down to second
  He was cooled
  Changing stations on the chamber
  To steal a diamond ring
  From a jewelry store for his baby
  He loved the way she looked
  In those red shoes
  She waited by the drugstore
  Caesar had never been this late before
  The dogs bayed the moon
  And rattled their chain
  And the cold jingle of taps in a puddle
  Was the burglar alarm
  Snitchin on Caesar
  The rain washes memories from the sidewalks
  And the hounds splash the nickel full of soldiers
  And Santa Claus is drunk
  In the ski room
  And its Christmas Eve
  In a sad café
  When the moon gets its way
  Theres a little blue jay by the newsstand
  Red shoes
  Red shoes
  So meet me tonight by the drugstore
  Meet me tonight by the drugstore
  Meet me tonight by the drugstore
  Goin out tonight
  Goin out tonight
  Goin out tonight
  Wear your red shoes
  Red shoes
  Red shoes
  Red shoes
  Red shoes
