[Intro]
Well, it's one for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, now go, cat, go
[Chorus]

[Verse 1]
Well, you can knock me down, step in my face
Slander my name all over the place
Do anything that you wanna do
But uh-uh honey, lay off of them shoes
[Chorus]

Let's go, cat!
[Guitar Solo]
Ah, walk the dog
[Verse 2]

Well, you can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes

Yeah!

Well, you can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes
[Outro]
Well it's blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes, yeah
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes, baby
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes
