| Though you haven’t many toys |
| You don’t envy any boys |
| Every day’s a work day |
| Your work is just a game |
| I’d like to sing your praise |
| But I don’t know your name |
| You’re just a shoe shine boy |
| You work hard all day |
| Shoe shine boy |
| Got no time to play |
| Every nickel helps a lot |
| So shine, shine, shoe shine boy |
| You find joy in the things you do Shoe shine boy seldom ever blue |
| You’re content with what you’ve got |
| So shine, shine, shoe shine boy |
| People look at you with scorn |
| 'Cause your clothes are worn and torn |
| Still you never whine |
| You keep looking up and down the street |
| Pleading with each one you meet |
| Brother, can you spare a shine? |
| Oh, shoe shine boy, soon the day will come |
| Shoe shine boy soon a tune you’ll hum |
| Every nickel helps a lot |
| So shine, shine, shoe shine boy |
| Shoe shine, shoe shine boy |
