Jim Capaldi - Shoe Shine (disco Mix) lyrics
Your rating:
Five o'clock in the morning Waking up on a cold back street Lifts his head and he's yawning Shoe shine boy with no food to eat Walks on down to the railway station Maybe find some warmth in a room He ain't got no destination You can hear him sigh in the gloom Shoe shine trying to make a dollar Shoe shine keep the wolf at bay Shoe shine trying to make a dollar Shoe shine shine your blues away In the heart of the city You can't find no peace or joy A young boy's life is a pity He ain't never had a brand new toy He puts his face against the window Of a rich store on fifth avenue His breath is steaming in the ice-cold wind His little fingers are turning blue Shoe shine trying to make a dollar Shoe shine keep the wolf at bay Shoe shine trying to make a dollar Shoe shine shine your blues away Shine 'em up, shine 'em up When he's down in the station Cleaning shoes at five cents a time He ain't never had a vacation And if he did you know it would blow his mind He's got a friend named Billy Spends his time stealing hub caps from cars And when the night gets too chilly They huddle together staring at the stars Shoe shine trying to make a dollar Shoe shine keep the wolf at bay Shoe shine trying to make a dollar Shoe shine shine your blues away
