    Verse 1
    She 
    wore 
    red shoes 

    by 
    the drugstore 

    As 
    the rain 
    splashed 
    the nickel 

    Spilled 
    like 
    chablis 
    along 

    the midway 

    There's a little 
    blue 
    jay 

    In a red dress, 
    on 
    a sad 
    night 

    Verse 2
    One 
    straw 
    in 
    a root beer 

    A compact 
    with 
    a cracked 
    mirror 

    And 
    a bottle 
    of evening 
    in 

    Verse 3
    Paris 
    perfume 


    He told her 
    to wait in 
    by the magazines 

    He 
    had to 
    take care 
    of some 

    business 
    it 
    seems 

    Bring 
    a raincoat 
    and 
    a suitcase 

    And your 
    dark 
    eyes 

    And wear those 
    red shoes 

    Verse 4
    There's 
    a dark 
    huddle 
    at 

    the bus stop 

    Umbrellas 
    arranged 
    in 
    a sad 
    bouquet 

    Lil' 
    Caesar 
    got 
    caught 

    He 
    was going 
    down to 
    second 

    He 
    was cooled 

    Changing 
    stations 
    on the chamber 

    To 
    steal 
    a diamond 

    From a jewelry 
    store 
    for 
    his baby 

    He loved 
    the way 
    she looked 

    in those 
    red shoes 

    Verse 5
    She 
    waited 
    by 
    the drugstore 

    Caesar 
    had never 
    been this 

    late before 

    And the dogs 
    bayed 
    the 
    moon 

    And 
    rattled 
    their chains 

    And the cold 
    jingle 
    of taps 
    in a puddle 

    Was 
    the burglar 
    alarm 

    Snitching on Caesar 

    Verse 6
    Now the 
    rain 
    washes 
    memories 

    from 
    the sidewalks 

    And 
    the hounds 
    splash 
    down the nickel 

    Full 
    of soldiers 

    And 
    Santa Claus 
    is 
    drunk 
    in 
    the ski 
    room 

    And 
    it's Christmas 
    eve 
    in 

    a sad 
    cafe 

    When the moon 
    gets 
    this way 

    There's a little 
    blue 
    jay 

    By 
    the newsstand 

    Wearing 
    red shoes 

    Verse 7
    So 
    meet 
    me tonight 
    by 
    the drugstore 

    We're 
    goin' 
    out tonight 

    Outro 1
    Wear your 
    red shoes

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
