Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The sex is in the heel even if you break it

The sex is in the heel, honey you can't fake it

Jack it up 'cause I'm no flat tire

Mack it up six inches higher

The sex is in the heel so just embrace it

[Verse 2]

From London to Milan

Stilettos are an ism

In red and neon life

Gimme Jimmy Choo, Choo, Choo, Choo, Choo, shoes

New York, Paris, Hong Kong

Live it like an ism

Seduction amplified

The heel is the transmission

[Verse 3]

Asserting actual scientific reason

Heels tense the leg and the hindquarter region

Lifting the rear and making it appear

Pert and ready for mating season

[Verse 4]

That's the scientific view, but you know what I say?

The sex is in the heel

Fierce as you can make it

The sex is the appeal

Kinky boys can shake it

[Verse 5]

Pump it up

Till it's ostentatious

Funk it up

It's contagious

The sex is in the heel so just embrace it

[Verse 6]

From London to Milan

Feed that chic hot feeling

In red and neon life

Won't go nowhere without

M-m-my Manolos

New York, Paris, Hong Kong

Stilettos leave 'em reeling

Seduction amplified

The heel should hit the ceiling

The heel should hit the

The heel should hit the ceiling

[Verse 7]

From London to Milan

Stilettos are an ism

In red and neon life

Gotta lotta P-P-P-P-P-P-Prada

New York, Paris, Hong Kong

Live it like an ism

Seduction amplified

The heel is the transmission

[Verse 8]

These are brilliant, I'd wear any one of them

You are not our niche market

There are some very interesting ideas here

They're all stiletto heels, it's physically impossible to make a

Stiletto that can bear the weight of a full-grown man

Not so fast

[Verse 9]

If we could mold the steel

One piece from ball to heel

We'd underpin it and remake it

So not even Don could break it

[Verse 10]

Sorry?

I said

[Verse 11]

We'd underpin it and remake it

So not even Don could break it

[Verse 12]

Yeah? You think?

We can do it

We can do it

We can do it

[Verse 13]

From London to Milan

Stilettos are an ism

In red and neon life

Gimme big red boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boots

New York, Paris, Hong Kong

[Verse 14]

Watch out world

Watch out world

Here we come!
