Verse:<br>
<br>
Aladdin had a wonderful lamp,<br>
King Midas had the touch of gold;<br>
In magic they had many a champ<br>
Back in the days of old.<br>
But magic was in its infancy:<br>
Today they'd ring no bell.<br>
Today they'd mimic<br>
Me and my gimmick,<br>
To cast a spell.<br>
<br>
Chorus:<br>
<br>
When I've got shoes with wings on,<br>
The winter's gone, the spring's on;<br>
When I've got shoes with wings on,<br>
The town is full of rhythm and the world's in rhyme.<br>
The Neon City glows up,<br>
My pretty, pretty shows up,<br>
We'll dance until they close up.<br>
Got my guardian angel working overtime.<br>
I give Aladdin the lamp, Midas the gold,<br>
Who needs a wizard or magician<br>
In the old tradition?<br>
That's not competition!<br>
I've got 'em beat a thousand fold!<br>
Why?<br>
'Cause I've got shoes with wings on,<br>
And living has no strings on;<br>
I put those magic things on,<br>
And I go flying with 'em <br>
And the town is full of rhythm<br>
And the world's in rhyme,<br>
Happens ev'ry time,<br>
Put my shoes with wings on.<br>
Yes, siree, the world's in rhyme.<br>
 <br>
