Shoe Shine Boy |
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 |
