Verse 1: 
A5                      F5
The cats are all crazy, Mona Lisa
A5               F5
They try to say my future is stone
A5               F5
They say they make all the right calls
             C5                          G5
To all the right numbers that the fat cats know

Verse 2: 
A5                              F5
But these wheels were made for burning
A5                       F5
And these wings weren't meant to last
A5                             F5
In the end it's all fireworks and smoke rings 
 C5                       G5
A treacherous road baby, try not to crash

Chorus:
F5                                  A5    
And keep your singing voice golden
  F5             C5      G5 
And put your red shoes on
C5                   A5
I just want to sing motown, soul
F5                            C5           G5
And buy my baby something nice to take home 
A5            G5                             F5
And I wanna dance with the poor girls in Europe
C5               G5
I just wanna dance...
A5            G5               F5
And I wanna dance with the poor girls in Europe
C5              G5
I just wanna dance

Verse 3:
A5                     F5
After all it's just a crazy dream baby
A5                         F5
All these good cards burn up in a flash
A5                        F5
My, my it's getting late Cinderella
    C5                                 G5
Not long before these dresses turn right back to rags

Verse 4: 
A5                        F5
And don't forget about my homeboy
A5                      F5
We almost died at them gates
A5                                       F5
Thank the good Lord for sending his angels... 
C5                              G5
In a '49 Mercury for a lightning fast getaways 

Chorus:
F5                                  A5    
And keep your singing voice golden
  F5             C5      G5 
And put your red shoes on
C5                   A5
I just want to sing motown, soul
F5                            C5           G5
And buy my baby something nice to take home 
A5            G5                             F5
And I wanna dance with the poor girls in Europe
C5               G5
I just wanna dance...
A5            G5               F5
And I wanna dance with the poor girls in Europe
C5              G5
I just wanna dance

Bridge: 
G5             C5            F5
And not your friends, they all want to sell your blood
G5           C5         F5
And isn't that why everybody signs up
A5               F5
Forget it baby, keep your eyes on that Cadillac
C5                                      G5
And keep your feet dancing before they say you're too old
G5             C5            F5
And not your friends, they all want to sell your blood
G5           C5         F5
And isn't that why everybody signs up
A5               F5
Forget it baby, keep your eyes on that Cadillac
C5                                      G5                     C5
And keep your feet dancing before they say you're too old (and)

Chorus:
F5                                  A5    
And keep your singing voice golden
  F5             C5      G5 
And put your red shoes on
C5                   A5
I just want to sing rock and roll
F5                            C5           G5
And buy my baby something nice to take home 
F5                                  A5    
And keep your singing voice golden
  F5             C5      G5 
And put your red shoes on
C5                    G5    A5
I just want to sing motown, soul
F5                         C5             G5
And buy my baby something nice she can take home

Chorus:
F5                                  A5    
And keep your singing voice golden
  F5             C5      G5 
And put your red shoes on
C5                   A5
I just want to sing rhythm and blues
F5                     C5           G5
And crack this old heart made of stone
