Chu Chin Chow - The Cobblers Song.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. Apr 2001.

I sit and cobble at slippers and shoon,
from the rise of sun to the set of moon:

Cobble and cobble as best I may,
cobble all night and cobble all day,
and I sing as I cobble this doleful lay:

The stouter I cobble the less I earn,
for the soles ne'er crack nor the uppers turn,

the better my work, the less my pay,
but work can only be done one way.

And as I cobble with needle and thread,
I judge the world by the way they tread:

heels worn thick and soles worn thin,
toes turned out and toes turned in.
There's food for thought in a sandal skin.

For prince and commoner poor and rich,
stand in need of the cobbler's stitch,

why then worry what lies before,
hangs this life by a thread no more.

I sit and cobble at slippers and shoon,
from the rise of sun to the set of moon:

cobble and cobble as best I may,
cobble all night and cobble all day,
and I sing as I cobble this doleful lay.
