Well, it's a one for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, now go, cat, go!
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But lay off them blue suede shoes

Well, you can knock me down, step in my face
Slander my name all over the place;
Do anything that you wanna do
But, aw-aw, honey, lay off them shoes

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But lay off them blue suede shoes

Well, you can burn my house, steal my car
Drink my liquor from the old fruit jar
Do anything that you wanna do
But, aw-aw, honey, lay off them shoes

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But lay off them blue suede shoes

Well, hey!

Well, it's blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Hey, blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Hey, blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Hey, blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But lay off my blue suede shoes

John Lennon

As the founding member of The Beatles, John Winston Lennon (1940-1980) is one of the most recognizable cultural icons of the 20th Century. He is also the other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, alongside fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney.

As a solo artist and through his relationship and collaboration with avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, he became just as recognizable for his political activism.

Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, outside of his New York apartment, The Dakota. Since then, his music and message remain timeless.
