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 torn and warm

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 tune you'll hum

Every nickel helps a lot

So shine shine shoe shine boy
