Lyrics Shine On Your Shoes - Mel Tormé

When you feel as low, as the bottom of a well
Can't get out of that mood
Do somethin' to perk yourself up
Change your attitude

Give a tug to your tie
Put a crease in your pants
But, if you really want to feel fine
Give your shoes, a shine

When there's a shine on your shoes
There's a melody in your heart
With a singable happy feelin'
A wonderful way to start
To face the world every day
With a deedle-dum-dee-dah-dah
A little melody that is makin'
The worryin' world go by

When you walk down the street
With a happy-go-lucky beat
You'll find a lot in what I'm repeatin'
When there's a shine on your shoes
There's a melody in your heart
What a wonderful way to start, the day!

Now there's a shine that you get in the barber shop
There's a shine that you get in the Pullman car
A shine that you get in the school room
And there's a shine that you get in the pool room

But it doesn't matter where you get it
It'll do a lot of good if you let it
A little bit of polish will abolish what's botherin' you

(INSTRUMENTAL)

When you walk down the street
With a happy-go-lucky beat
You'll find a lot in what I'm repeatin'
When there's a shine, on your shoes
There's a melody, in your heart
A wonderful way to start, the day!

Shine 'em in the pool room
Shine 'em in the school room
Shine 'em in the mornin'
Shine 'em in the evenin'
Shine 'em in the summer and the winter too
You lose your Blues
When there's a shine
When there's a shine
Shine...
