A Shine on Your Shoes

A Shine on Your Shoes - Mel Tormé

When you feel as low

As the bottom of a well

And can't get out of the mood

Do something to perk yourself up

And change your attitude

Give a tug to your tie

Put a crease in your pants

But if you really want to feel fine

Give your shoes a shine

When there's a shine on your shoes

There's a melody in your heart

With a singable happy feeling

A wonderful way to start

To face the world every day

With a deedle dum dee dah dah

A little melody that is making

The worrying world go by

When you walk down the street

With a happy go lucky beat

You'll find a lot in what I'm repeating

When there's a shine on your shoes

There's a melody in your heart

What a wonderful way to start the day

Now there's a shine that you get in the barber shop

There's a shine that you get in the Pullman car

There's a shine that you get in the pool room

There's a shine that you get in the school room

But it doesn't matter where you get it

It'll do a lot of good if you let it

A little bit of polish will abolish what's bothering you

When you walk down the street

With a happy go lucky beat

You'll find a lot in what I'm repeating

Shine on your shoes

And drink in your heart

What a wonderful way to start the day

When there's a shine on your shoes

Gatting in your heart

Malin your feis

Brin your word

Workin your lusi

Shine on your shoes
