1
Though you haven't many toys
2
You don't envy any boys
3
Every day's a work day
4
Your work is just a game
5
I'd like to sing your praise
6
But I don't know your name
7
You're just a shoe shine boy
8
You work hard all day
9
Shoe shine boy, got no time to play
10
Every nickel helps a lot
11
So shine, shine, shoe shine boy
12
You find joy in the things you do
13
Shoe shine boy seldom ever blue
14
You're content with what you've got
15
So shine, shine, shoe shine boy
16
People look at you with scorn
17
'Cause your clothes are worn and torn
18
Still you never whine
19
You keep looking up and down the street
20
Pleading with each one you meet
21
Brother, can you spare a shine?
22
Oh, shoe shine boy, soon the day will come
23
Shoe shine boy soon a tune you'll hum
24
Every nickel helps a lot
25
So shine, shine, shoe shine boy
26
Shoe shine, shoe shine boy
