Put on your red dress, baby

Ya know we’re goin’ out tonight

Put on your red dress, baby

Lord, we’re goin’ out tonight

And-a bring along some boxin’ gloves

In case some fool might wanna fight

Put on your high-heel sneakers, lordy

Wear your wig-hat on your head

Put on your high-heel sneakers, child

Wear your wig-hat on your head

Ya know you’re looking mighty fine, baby

I’m pretty sure you’re gonna knock ‘em dead

Put on your red dress, baby

Lord, we’re goin’ out tonight

Put on your red dress, baby

Well, we’re goin’ out tonight

And bring along some boxin’ gloves

‘case some fool might wanna fight

Put on your high-heel sneakers, child

Wear your wig-hat on your head now

Put on your high-heel sneakers, baby

Wear your wig-hat on your head

Ya know you’re looking mighty good, really

I’m pretty sure you’re gonna knock ‘em dead
