When you feel as low As the bottom of a well And can't get out of the mood Do something to perk yourself up And change your attitude Give a tug to your tie Put a crease in your pants But if you really want to feel fine Give your shoes a shine
When there's a shine on your shoes There's a melody in your heart With a singable happy feeling A wonderful way to start To face the world every day With a deedle-dum-dee-dah-dah A little melody that is making The worrying world go by
When you walk down the street With a happy-go-lucky beat You'll find a lot in what I'm repeating When there's a shine on your shoes There's a melody in your heart What a wonderful way to start the day!
Now there's a shine that you get in the barber shop There's a shine that you get in the Pullman car There's a shine that you get in the pool room There's a shine that you get in the school room
But it doesn't matter where you get it It'll do a lot of good if you let it A little bit of polish will abolish what's bothering you
When there's a shine on your shoes Melody in your heart Singable happy feeling Wonderful!
Got a shine on my shoes Got a shine on my shoes Got a shine on my shoes Got a shine on my shoes Got a shine on my shoes Got a shine on my shoes Got a shine on my shoes Got a shine on my shoes
