Kick a slipper in the air,
Let it reach a star,
Let it fall again.
Pick it up,
Hold it to your heart,
Put it on.
Dance in it. walk in it—
Dance all day, all night;
Walk for miles and miles;
Any pavement, any grass, any rocks,
Puddles, swamp, sand.
Put it on at night if a child should cry,
Kick it off, go to sleep—
Heel down, toe out,
The slipper will grow old,
The buckle will grow new,
The slipper reached a star—
Rhinestones will shine.
