Dr Shine

Walkin' through the airport one day In Columbus, Ohio Dr Shine called out to me Man, you're a king not a hobo You got the time, I got the wax Cost you five dollars, no sales tax Buddy, let me shine them shoes You got a smile like a millionaire But them shoes make you look like a tramp When Doctor Shine gets through with that leather You'll be stepping like a champ Read the paper, take a snooze Talk about baseball, whatever you choose But buddy, let me shine them shoes My daddy's father was French That's that Creole look in my eyes Been shining shoes all my life Making good money too, you'd be surprised I can toss the brush from hand to hand Just as good if not better than any living man Buddy, I can shine some shoes You won't forget this lucky day It's gon' go down in history You play guitar I see Might write a song about me I'm gonna make these shoes shine like a mirror Everything in your world is gonna look a little clearer Take my card, here's where I'll be Tell your friends they can see about me Buddy, I can shine Buddy, I can shine some shoes
