Mama used to take me to the corner store
|
When she ran out of something and she needed more
|
I’m always happy to help mama when I can
|
‘Cause at the corner is a nice young man
|
One day when I was down there buying sugar and bread
|
Mama thought we’d just go to the diner instead
|
She came down to the corner store looking for me
|
And when she came in you shoulda heard what she said
|
Baby what you’re doin’ with a grocer like that?
|
Oh mama that’s no grocer, that’s a shoeshine boy
|
Shoeshine boy, you never miss a spot
|
It’s the best shoeshinin’ that I ever got
|
For a little bit more you get the job done right
|
And my shoes stay shined for the rest of the night
|
Shoeshine boy oh oh you didn’t stutter
|
When you told me that she’d give me more than bread and butter
|
Mama can go to the diner on her own
|
‘Cause the shoeshine boy doesn’t like to work alone
|
