Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"Shoeshine Boy" lyrics


Shoeshine boy, he's makin' his money workin' dowtown on Main StreetShoeshine boy, I know it ain't funny cleanin' everything on two feetGet down, get down upon your knees and brush your blues awayIt 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 blackShoeshine boy, your daddy's getting older, gotta take the weight off his backGet down, get down upon your knees and brush your blues awayIt 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 need youAnd when you're dancin' together, you just can't beat you.
Get down, get down upon your knees and brush your blues awayIt 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 need youAnd when you're dancin' together, you just can't beat you.
Shoeshine boy, he's makin' his money workin' dowtown on Main StreetShoeshine boy, I know it ain't funny cleanin' everything on two feetGet down, get down upon your knees and brush your blues awayIt won't be long ‘til Saturday night and you'll be dancin' with your lady ‘til the break of day.
