In These Shoes? Lyrics

I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went
He said "let’s make love on a mountain top
Under the stars on a big hard rock"
I said "in these shoes? 
I don’t think so"
I said "honey, let’s do it here."

So I’m sitting at a bar in guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said "i’ve got as powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, I’ll take you for a ride
I know a little place, we can get there for the break of day."
I said "in these shoes? 
No way, jose"
I said "honey, let’s stay right here."

No le gusta caminar. no puede montar a caballo
(I don’t like to dance, I can’t ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? es un escandolo
(how can I dance? 	it’s a scandal)

Then I met an englishman
"oh" he said
"won’t you walk up and down my spine,
It makes me feel strangely alive."
I said "in these shoes? 
I doubt you’d survive."
I said "honey, let’s do it.
Let’s stay right here."

No le gusta caminar. no puede montar a caballo
(I don’t like to dance, I can’t ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? es un escandolo
(how can I dance?  it’s a scandal)
