The Shoemaker's Serenade 1947

He'll mend your shoes for you
He'll mend your blues for you
With clicks of the tricks of the trade.
For as he taps away
your heart will start to sway
to the shoemaker's serenade.

Ticky Ticky Tee
Ticky Ticky Tay
Ticky Ticky
Tick tick tick tick
tick tick ticky ticky tay.

The things that gent can do
to any bent old shoe,
no matter how tattered and frayed
and as he sews your seams
he mends your broken dreams
with his shoemaker's serenade.

Ticky Ticky Tee
Ticky Ticky Tay
Ticky Ticky
Tick tick tick tick
tick tick ticky ticky tay.

I'd like to state
his work is great
and if you wait
he won't take long.
And you can watch
the children of the neighbourhood
Gaily dancing to his merry song.
If you're along the street
and hear a song that's sweet
it's not any penny arcade,
it's just a cobbler gay
who shoos your blues away
with the Shoemaker's Serenade.

Ticky Ticky Tee
Ticky Ticky Tay
Ticky Ticky
Tick tick tick tick
tick tick ticky ticky tay.
