The Little Shoemaker

In the shoemaker's shop, this refrain would never stop As he tapped away, working all the day (At his bench, there was he, just as busy as a bee) Little time to lose for the boots and shoes But his heart went "pop" inside the little shop When a lovely girl set 'em all a-whirl She had come to choose some pretty dancing shoes And he heard her say in a charming way I want Some shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing Dancing, dancing all the day Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing Dancing all my cares away (Then he tapped and he stitched for his fingers were bewitched) And he sewed a dream into every seam (Making shoes, oh, so neat just like magic on her feet) And he hoped she'd know that he loved her so But she danced, danced, danced as though she were entranced Like a spinning top all around the shop On her dainty feet, she whirled into the street And he heard her say as she danced away Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing Dancing, dancing all the way Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing Dancing all my cares away I want some shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing Dancing, dancing all the way Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing Dancing all my cares away Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing Dancing all my cares away I take all my cares away
