The Shoemaker's Serenade
Composer(s): Edward Lisbona - Joe Lubin
Performer(s): Lou Preager
and multiple other artists
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
Tick-a-tick-a-tee, tick-a-tick-a-tay
Tick-a-tick-a-tick tick tick tick tick tick tick-a-tick-a-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
Tick-a-tick-a-tee, tick-a-tick-a-tay
Tick-a-tick-a-tick tick tick tick tick tick tick-a-tick-a-tay
I'd like to 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 gay who shoos your blues away
With the shoemaker serenade
Tick-a-tick-a-tee, tick-a-tick-a-tay
Tick-a-tick-a-tick tick tick tick tick tick tick-a-tick-a-tay
