Shoe Shoe Shine

First of all, let's get one thing straight

All the things you desire will have to come late

Ain't handing you no jive

Tellin' you it is what it ain't

Pretendin' I can do things that I, oh, that I can't

But I remember (I remember)

I remember when (I remember)

Shoe, shoe shine used to cost a dime

A penny could buy you plenty

A nickel was the fare to take you anywhere

Troubles, we didn't have many

I may not have much to speak of

But there'll always be plenty of love

You might as well get rid of those crazy ideas

Rainy days will outnumber the ones you see clear

The picture in your dreams, no

That ain't the way it's gonna be

When you sit in your lucky chair

All you may have is me tellin' the story (tellin' the story)

Of the glory when (of the glory)

Shoe, shoe shine used to cost a dime

A penny could buy you plenty

A nickel was the fare to take you anywhere

Troubles, we didn't have many

I may not have much to speak of

But there'll always be plenty of love

Tellin' the story (tellin' the story)

Of the glory when (of the glory)

Shoe, shoe shine used to cost a dime

A penny could buy you plenty

A nickel was the fare to take you anywhere

Troubles, we didn't have many
