I was born in New York City on a Monday

It seems I was out shinin' shoes 'bout two to noon

You try hard and you die hard, no one gives a damn

Ain't no way to be but where can you go?

No, no, no, no, no, not me

When you need a friend, you need to have one

Here's a dime boy, give me a shine boy
