You must've heard of a-little Bo Peep
She was the gal with all the sheep
A woa one day it's a-sad to say
The sheep all ran away
She was lonely and she was blue
She was sad and a-crying too
So I told her what to do
I said "Put on your dancin' shoes"

Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
And dance away your blues

Mmm...
Yeah...

A friend of mine had an accident
Laughed so hard off a wall he went
A-Humpty Dumpty was his name
I guess you've all heard the same
He was lying on the ground
A-bits and pieces all around
So I told him what to do
I said "Put on your dancing shoes"
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
And dance away your blues

Mmm...
Yeah...

I'm sure you know about Jack and Jill
They're the ones that went up the hill
A-Jack fell down and a-broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after
What a noise their crying made
It was a-ringing through the glade
So I told them what to do
And I changed their tears to laughter

Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
And dance away your blues

Mmm put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
