A little shoe -shining boy

will never get slowed down

But he's got the dirtiest job in town

Bendin' low over people's feet

on the windy corner of a dirty street

I asked him while he shined my shoes

how he kept from gettin' the blues

He grinned as he raised

up his little head,

what the shoes shined like

And then he said,

Well, I sat and listened

to the shoeshine boy

And I thought that I was

gonna jump with joy

He slapped on the shoe

polish left and right

Took a shoeshine rag and he held it tight

He stopped just once

to wipe the sweat away

He said, you might find more

to be a -workin' that way

He said, I like it with a big white grin

He kept on poppin'

and he'd say it again
