shoeshine boy - the lemon pipers lyrics

Loading...

shoeshine boy, shining shoes for a dime
no one ever seems to have any time for a shine
shoeshine boy helps his mother pay the rent
every hour of the day is well meant, earn a cent

he’s just a shoeshine boy
just a shoeshine boy
he’s just a boy

early in the morning (shine, shine)
when everyone is sleeping (shine, shine)
all snuggled up in their beds (shine, shine)
the shoeshine boy comes quietly creeping (shine, shine)
down the stairs, into the hallway (shine, shine)
hurries through the backdoor (shine, shine)
and arrives on his corner way (shine, shine)
before the sun appears (shine)

shoeshine boy, spending outside in the cold
the banker p-sses by, his shoes are old
very old
shoeshine boy, there’s no one here to care
people gather ’round, all they do is stare
it’s unfair

he’s just a shoeshine boy
just a shoeshine boy
he’s just a boy

early in the morning (shine, shine)
when everyone is sleeping (shine, shine)
all snuggled up in their beds (shine, shine)
the shoeshine boy comes quietly creeping (shine, shine)
down the stairs, into the hallway (shine, shine)
hurries through the backdoor (shine, shine)
and arrives on his corner way (shine, shine)
before the sun appears (shine)

shoeshine boy, shinin’ shoes for a dime
no one ever seems to have any time for a shine, for a shine

(shine, shine)
(shine, shine)
(shine, shine)
(shine, shine)

with humid rains (shine, shine)
he is sad (shine, shine)
maybe this is very bad (shine, shine)
but in the sun, he’s the one (shine, shine)
it can only cost but a dime (shine)
for a shine (shine, shine)
you’d be helping his mother pay the rent (shine, shine)

standin’ on a corner (shine, shine)
with a rag in his hands (shine, shine)
no one understands… (shine, shine)
