[Verse 1]
Well, it's E7one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Now go, cat, go
But A7don't you step on my blue suede E7shoes
You can B7do anything but lay A7off of my blue suede E7shoes

E7You can burn my house, steal my car
Drink my liquor from an old fruitjar
Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh
Honey, lay off of my shoes
A7Don't you step on my blue suede E7shoes
You can B7do anything but lay A7off of my blue suede E7shoes
