Shoeshine Boy
Gerry Rafferty · Singer/songwriter [2001]
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
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

Shoeshine boy, your daddy's gettin' older

You know you feel so good
