When there's a shine on your shoes
There's a melody in your heart
With a singable, happy feeling
What a wonderful way to start

To face the world every day
With a deedle-um-dee-dulay
Little melody that is making
The world, 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

When there's a shine on your shoes
There's a melody in your heart
With a singable, happy feeling
What a wonderful way to start

To face the world every day
With a deedle-um-dee-dulay
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

What a wonderful way to start the day
