[Intro]
Now I want everybody to clap your hands in this groove
Come on! Ha, yeah
Ah yeah, now let me get myself together, yeah

[Harmonica solo]

[Verse 1]
Put on your red dress, baby, 'cause we're going out tonight, ha ha, yeah
Put on your red dress, baby, 'cause we're going out tonight, ah yeah
Ah, you better wear your boxing gloves
In case some fool might wanna fight, yeah

[Chorus]
Put on your high heeled sneakers
And wear your wig hat on your head, oh yeah
Put on your high heeled sneakers, girl
And wear your wig hat on your head, ha ha, yeah
'Cause I'm pretty sure now, baby
I'm pretty sure you're gonna knock 'em dead, ha ha, yeah

[Harmonica solo]

[Chorus]
Ha ha, yeah
Put on your high heeled sneakers
And wear your wig hat on your head, ah baby
Put on your high heeled jump shoes, girl
And wear your wig hat on your head, na na na
'Cause I'm pretty sure now, baby
I'm pretty sure you're gonna knock 'em dead, yeah, ha ha, yeah

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
