Lyrics
VERSE: "Happy Jack – known around the town as "some" boot-black
Never worried tho' he worked like sin, had a grin guaranteed to bring the bus'ness in
Ev'ry day when they'd ask him how he got that way he would tell 'em
"If you envy me, just try my recipe"
" Shine – away your blues-ies – Shine – start with your shoes-ies –
Shine each place up make it look like new, shine your face up wear a smile or two,
Shine - your these and thos-ies – you'll find that everything will turn out fine,
Folks will shine up to ya, everyone will "howdy-do" ya,
You'll make the whole world shine"
Writer(s): Lew Brown, Ford Dabney, Cecil Mack
