Verse:

Hap -py Jack, known a -round the town as "some" boot -black,

Nev -er wor -ried tho' he worked like sin, Had a grin Guar -an -teed to bring the bus -'ness in,

Ev -'ry day when they'd ask him how he got that way,

He would tell 'em "If you en -vy me, Just try my re -ci -pe:"

 

Chorus:

Shine a -way your blues -ies

Shine, start with your shoes -ies

Shine each place up, make it look like new,

Shine your face up, wear a smile, or two,

Shine your these and tho -sies,

You'll find that ev' -ry -thing will turn out fine,

Folks will shine up to ya, Ev' -ry -one will how -dy -do ya,

You'll make the whole world shine,
