The Barkleys of Broadway movie - Shoes With Wings On lyrics

rate me

<br>

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>
