Shine On Your Shoes

(album: Steppin' Out - 1993)

When you feel as low as the bottom of a well
Can't get out of the mood
Do something to perk yourself up
Change your attitude
Give a tug to your tie
Put a crease in your pants
But if you really wanna 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 feeling,
What a wonderful way to start to face the world every day
With a "deedle-um-dee-di-di,"
little melody that is making the 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
