Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Three to get ready, now go cat go.
But don't you, step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes
You can knock me down, step in my face
Slander my name all over the place.
And do anything that you want to do
And don't you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.
Oh let's go cats!
You can burn my house, steal my car
Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar
Do anything that you want to do
But uh uh honey lay off of them shoes
And don't you, step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.
Rock!
Well it's one for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, now go cat go
But don't you, step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.
Well it's blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes yeah!
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes baby

You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.
