The Little Shoemaker Lyrics

The Little Shoemaker - Alma Cogan

Lyrics by:Joe Turner/Rudy Revil

Composed by:Francis Lemarque

 

Shoes to set my feet a-dancing dancing

Dancing all the dance away

In the shoemaker's shop

This refrain would never stop

As he tapped away

 

Working all the day

At his bench there was he

Just as busy as a bee

Little time to lose

With the boots and shoes

But his heart went pop

Inside the little shop

When a lovely girl

Set him all a whirl

 

She had come to choose

Some pretty dancing shoes

And he heard her say

In her charming way

 

Shoes to set my feet a-dancing dancing

Dancing dancing all the day

 

Shoes to set my feet a-dancing dancing

Dancing all my cares away

 

Then he tapped and he stitched

For his fingers were bewitched

And he sewed a dream

Into every seam

Making shoes oh so neat

Just like magic on her feet

And he hoped she'd know

That he loved her so

 

But she danced danced danced

As tho' she were entranced

Like a spinning top

 

All around the shop

 

On her dainty feet

She whirled into the street

And he heard her say

As she danced away

Shoes to set my feet a-dancing dancing

Dancing dancing all the day

 

Shoes to set my feet a-dancing dancing

Dancing all my cares away

Shoes to set my feet a-dancing dancing

 

Dancing all my cares away
