Shoe Shine Boy

Lyrics

[Instrumental] [Verse 1] 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 got So, shine, shine, shoe shine boy [Bridge] People look at you with scorn 'Cause your clothes are torn and worn Still, you never whine You keep walking up and down street Pleading with each one you meet "Brother, can you spare a shine?" [Verse 2] Shoe shine boy, soon the day will come Shoe shine boy, soon a tune you hum Every nickel helps a lot So, shine, shine, shoe shine boy [Instrumental]
