Barefootin’ Lyrics by The Marvelettes

Forever More (The Complete Motown Albums Volume 2)

1967

[Verse 1]
Everybody get on your feet
You make me nervous when you're in your seat
Take off your shoes and pat your feet
We're doin a dance that can't be beat
[Chorus]
We're barefootin' (Take off your shoes and move)
Yes, we're barefootin' (Take off your shoes and move)
Mmmm, we're barefootin' (Take off your shoes and move)
Hey, now (Everybody get in the groove)
[Verse 2]
Went to a party the other night
Long Tall Sally was outta sight
Threw 'way her wig, and her high sneakers too
She was doin' a dance without any shoes
[Chorus]
She was barefootin' (Take off your shoes and move)
Yeah, she was barefootin' (Take off your shoes and move)
She was barefootin' (Take off your shoes and move)
Hey, now (Everybody get in the groove)
[Verse 3]
Hey, little boy with the red shoes on
I bet you can barefoot all night long
Take off your shoes and throw 'em away
Come back and get 'em another day
[Chorus]
We're barefootin' (Take off your shoes and move)
Hey, now! (Take off your shoes and move)
We're barefootin' (Take off your shoes and move)
Mmm-hmm (Everybody get in the groove)
[Verse 4]
Lil' John Henry said to Sue
"If I could barefoot, would you barefoot, too?"
Sue told John, "I'll stir your stew!
I've been barefootin' ever since I was two!"
[Chorus]
They're barefootin' (Take off your shoes and move)
Yeah, we're barefootin' (Take off your shoes and move)
Hey, now (Take off your shoes and move)
Oh, everybody get in the groove, 'cause
[Outro]
We're barefootin' (Take off your shoes and move, woo!)
Take off your shoes (Take off your shoes and move, woo!)
Take of your shoes, now (Take off your shoes and move, woo!)
Come on now, barefoot (Take off your shoes and move, woo!)
Come on and barefoot, now (Take off your shoes and move, woo!)
Take off your shoes (Take off your shoes and move, woo!)
