Shoeshine boy, he's makin' his money
Workin' downtown on Main Street
Shoeshine boy, I know it ain't funny
Cleanin' everythin' on two feet

Get down, get down upon your knees
And brush your blues away
It won't be long 'til Saturday night
And you'll be dancin' with your lady 'til the break of day

Shoeshine boy, don't have no ambition
Just wants to be a kerbside boot black
Shoeshine boy, your daddy's gettin' older
Gotta take the weight off his back

Get down, get down upon your knees
And brush your blues away
It won't be long 'til Saturday night
And you'll be dancin' with your lady 'til the break of day

You know you feel so good
When she comes to meet you
And when you're dancin' together
You just can't beat you

Get down, get down upon your knees
And brush your blues away
It won't be long 'til Saturday night
And you'll be dancin' with your lady 'til the break of day

You know you feel so good
When she comes to meet you
And when you're dancin' together
You just can't beat you

Shoeshine boy, he?s makin? his money
Workin? downtown on Main Street
Shoeshine boy, I know it ain't funny
Cleanin' everythin' on two feet

Get down, get down upon your knees
And brush your blues away
It won't be long 'til Saturday night
And you'll be dancin' with your lady 'til the break of day
