A Shine on Your Shoes Songtext
von Fred Astaire

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


Shiny shoes! Shiny shoes!
Shiny shoes! Shiny shoes!
Shiny shoes! Shiny shoes!
Shiny shoes! Shiny shoes!
I got a shine shoes

Shiny shoes! Shiny shoes! Shiny shoes!
Shine, shine, shine on my shoes

I got a shine on my shoes
I got a shine on my shoes
I got a shine on my shoes
I got a shine on my shoes

Got a shoe shine
Got a shoe shine
Got a shoe shine
Got a shoe shine
Got a shoe shine
Got a shoe shine
Got a shoe shine
Got a shoe shine
