Shoe Shine Boy

Shoe Shine Boy - Duke Ellington (艾灵顿公爵)

Shoe shine boy you work hard all day

Shoe shine boy got no time to play

Evry 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 walking up and down the street

Pleading with each one you meet

Brother Can you spare a shine

Shoe shine boy soon the day will come

Shoe shine boy soon a time you'll hum

Evry nickel helps a lot

So shine shine shoe shine boy
