Lyrics

First of all, let's get one thing straight All the things you desire will have to come late Ain't handing you no jive Tellin' you it is what it ain't Pretendin' I can do things that I, oh, that I can't But I remember (I remember) I remember when (I remember) Shoe, shoe shine used to cost a dime A penny could buy you plenty A nickel was the fare to take you anywhere Troubles, we didn't have many I may not have much to speak of But there'll always be plenty of love You might as well get rid of those crazy ideas Rainy days will outnumber the ones you see clear The picture in your dreams, no That ain't the way it's gonna be When you sit in your lucky chair All you may have is me tellin' the story (tellin' the story) Of the glory when (of the glory) Shoe, shoe shine used to cost a dime A penny could buy you plenty A nickel was the fare to take you anywhere Troubles, we didn't have many I may not have much to speak of But there'll always be plenty of love Tellin' the story (tellin' the story) Of the glory when (of the glory) Shoe, shoe shine used to cost a dime A penny could buy you plenty A nickel was the fare to take you anywhere Troubles, we didn't have many Shoe, shoe shine used to cost a dime A penny could buy you plenty A nickel was the fare to take you anywhere Troubles, we didn't have many Shoe, shoe shine used to cost a dime A penny could buy you plenty A nickel was the fare to take you anywhere Troubles, we didn't have many
