1.
Bright red are the shoes that I have;
I'm glad a hard winter to face,
for shoes to the soul are a salve.
Bright red are the shoes that I have!
I'm ready for icebergs to calve,
for Arctic cold southward to race.
Bright red are the shoes that I have;
I'm glad a hard winter to face!

I never eat cheetah, I can't!
And never rhinocerous, too.
I've heard that cheetahs do pant
I never eat cheetah, I can't,
for I have a fear they might rant
as might a rhinocerous do.
I never eat cheetah, I can't!
And never rhinocerous, too.

I have an expensive red pen.
And it is so cute and so good,
I'm sure you'll approve of me, then.
I have an expensive red pen,
with which I shall draw you a wren;
For now you do know that I should.
I have an expensive red pen.
And it is so cute and so good,

4.
I'd like to be all that you want,
because my heart, breaking, I feel.
My feelings I cannot vaunt;
I'd like to be all that you want.
My spirit, infected, you haunt.
I wish I had nerves made of steel
I'd like to be all that you want,
because my heart, breaking, I feel.
