Eddie Kendricks

Shoeshine Boy

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) forget (where) you come

Shoeshine boy, workin' so hard in the noon day sun

(Just, just keep workin')

(Shoeshine boy) look at ya 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

Hmmmm, that's the way that you are
