Though you haven't many toysYou don't envy any boysEvery day's a work day,Your work is just a gameI'd like to sing your praisebut I don't know your nameYou're just a shoe shine boyYou work hard all dayShoe shine boyGot no time to playEvery nickel helps a lotSo shine, shine, shoe shine boy.You find joy in the things you doShoe shine boy seldom ever blueYou're content with what you've gotSo shine, shine, shoe shine boy.People look at you with scorn'cos your clothes are worn and tornStill you never whineYou keep looking up and down the streetPleading with each one you meetBrother can you spare a shine.SongtexteOh, Shoe shine boy soon the day will comeShoe shine boy soon a tune you'll humEvery nickel helps a lotSo shine, shine, shoe shine boy.Shoe shine, shoe shine boy Aus Songtexte Mania
