  • Songwriters: L Allen, H Booker

Shoeshine boy
How you do your work so well?
Shoeshine boy
Tryin' to make a livin', you go somewhere
Shoeshine boy
Where are you gonna be ten years from now?
(Just move, just keep workin')

Shoeshine boy, I wanna know
Are you gonna be the richest man around?
You've been a-workin' so hard
So many things in life to learn
Shoeshine boy, what will you discover?

Though it's a long way up, you'll reach the top
Now when you'll finally get back, don't forget
(From where)
You came
Shoeshine boy, workin' so hard in the noon day sun
(Just, just keep workin')

(Shoeshine boy)
Look at you now, gettin' it together
Teasing the guys and havin' lots of fun
Shoeshine boy
Yeah, don't you know that you're a star?
(Yeah, you're a star)

(Shoeshine boy)
Just the way, just the way that you are
You've been a-workin' so hard
So many things in life to learn
(So much to learn)
Shoeshine boy, what will you discover?

Yeah, shoeshine boy
Shoeshine boy
You've been a-workin' so hard
Shoeshine boy
Don't you know that you're a star?
Hmm, that's the way that you are
