You'll find everything's gonna turn out right fine
Shine, sway your bluesies
Like to dress up, in the latest style
Shine away your bluesies
'Cause my hair is curly, man's got curly hair
Shine, start with your shoesies
Shine your face up, I want to see you wear a smile or two
Folks will shine up to ya', everybody's gonna howdy doody do-ya'
Now just because my color's shady, you's a shady baby
That's the difference, maybe, why they call me
Why don't you shine? Start with your shoesies
That's the difference, maybe, why they call me
'Cause I'm glad I'm livin'
Now just because my teeth are pearly, also got pearly teeth
I take these troubles all with a smile
'Cause I'm glad I'm livin'
Shine each place up, make it look like new
You'll make the whole world shine, oh chocolate drop, that's me
Like to dress us, babe, in the latest style
I take these troubles all with a smile
Just because my color's shady
Just because I always wear a smile, oh, keep on smiling
Why don't you shine your these and thoseies?
Just because I always wear a smile
