Well it seemed to be just a dream But how is one to know There was a cat and a man made of tin There was a chick and an old scarecrow I got all shook up I raised my cup To toast that girl I'd seen I got my nerve I threw a curve And I told her what I mean I said ooh ooh Where'd you get them ruby red shoes They look like they could take a man To a place he could use We could tap our heels girl And chase away my blues If I could talk you out of them ruby red shoes (verse 2, same chords) It ain't hard to tell on a carousel Just where that horse might go So I jumped ship A shootin' from my hip Headed down that golden road Well the sky got black So I turned back I'm not one to steal the show Scarecrow was cool And the cat was too But me and tin man want to know Chorus repeats twice
