In These Shoes Lyrics

I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to trill
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? What is this, the Peace Corps?
I said, Honey, let's do it here
So we're sitting at a bar in Guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He says, I got a powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride
I know a little place
We can get there 'fore the break of day
I said In these shoes?
No way Jose
I said Honey, let's stay right here
No le guta caminar
No puede montar a caballo
Como se puede bailar
Es un escandalo
Then I met an Englishman
Oh, he said, Are you American?
Won't you walk up and down on my spine
It makes me feel strangely alive
I said, In these shoes?
Oh, I doubt you'd survive
I said, Honey, let's do it
No le gusta caminar
No puede montar a caballo
Como se puede bailar
Es un escandalo
