THE SHOEMAKER'S SERENADE
Eddie Lisbona & Joe Lubin

Roberto Inglez & his Orch
Lou Preager Orch + Eileen Orchard
Reg Lewis & his Prince Edward Theatre Orch


He'll mend your shoes for you, he'll mend your blues for you,
With clicks of the tricks of the trade.
For as he taps away your heart will start to sway
To the Shoemaker's Serenade.

Ticky ticky, tee - ticky ticky tay -
Ticky ticky tick tick tick tick tick tick ticky ticky tay.

The things that gent can do to any bent old shoe
No matter how tattered and frayed -
And as he sews your seams he mends your broken dreams
With his Shoemaker's Serenade.

Ticky ticky, tee - ticky ticky tay -
Ticky ticky tick tick tick tick tick tick ticky ticky tay.

I'd liketo state his work is great
And if you wait he won't take long.
And you can watch the children of the neighbourhood
Gaily dancing to his merry song.

If you're along the street and hear a song that's sweet,
It's not any penny arcade,
It's just a cobbler guy who shoes your blues away
With the Shoemaker's Serenade.

Ticky ticky, tee - ticky ticky tay -
Ticky ticky tick tick tick tick tick tick ticky ticky tay.
