The Little Shoemaker ((French Version: Le Petit Cordonnier (by Francis Lemarque)) Composer(s): Rudi Revil - Francis Lemarque - Geoff Parsons - John Turner) Performer(s): The Gaylords and multiple other artists
In the shoemaker's shop This refrain would never stop As he tapped away Working all the day
At his bench there was he Just as busy as a bee Little time to lose With the boots and shoes
But his heart went pop Inside the little shop When a lovely girl Set him all a whirl
She had come to choose Some pretty dancing shoes And he heard her say In her charming way
"Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing Dancing, dancing all the day Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing Dancing all my cares away"
Then he tapped and he stitched For his fingers were bewitched And he sewed a dream Into every seam
Making shoes, oh so neat Just like magic on her feet And he hoped she'd know That he loved her so
But she danced, danced, danced As tho' she were entranced Like a spinning top All around the shop
On her dainty feet She whirled into the street And he heard her say As she danced away
"Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing Dancing, dancing all the day "Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing Dancing all my cares away"
