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.
#2.
But his heart went "pop" inside the little shop,
when a lovely girl set him all awhirl.
She had come to choose some pretty dancing shoes
and he heard her say in a charming way.
I want some 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.
#3.
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.
#4.
But she danced, danced, danced as though 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.
I want some 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.
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing dancing
all my cares away.
Dancing all my cares away.
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
