leave your shoes with the shoeshine boy

 

Leave your shoes with the shoeshine boy

Leave your shoes with the shoeshine boy

Well come back in a week with his smile on your feets

Leave your shoes with the shoeshine boy

 

Don't you dance with that crazy girl

Don't you dance with that crazy girl

Well she'll give you all roses grab all your hoses

Don't dance with that crazy girl

 

Now see that guy with the roller skates

Well you better warn him before it's too late

If he keeps drinking that whiskey and beer

Pretty soon he's gonna disappear

 

Tell a joke that nobody knows

Tell a joke that nobody knows

Well if it's reasonably funny

Why, they'll give you all the goddamn money

Tell a joke that nobody knows

 

Take your hat off and roll it home

Take that goddamn hat off and roll it directly home

You can buy a gas station or you can die of starvation

Take your hat off and roll it home

 

Now I see you're leaning towards the end of the world

And all your oysters done run outta pearls

But before you leave this place

Wipe that jelly off your face

 

And leave your shoes with the shoeshine boy...
