When you feel as low as the bottom of a well Can’t get out of the mood Do something to perk yourself up Change your attitude Give a tug to your tie Put a crease in your pants But if you really wanna feel fine Give your shoes a shine When there's a shine on your shoes, there's a melody in your heart, With a singable, happy feeling, What a wonderful way to start to face the world every day With a "deedle-um-dee-di-di," little melody that is making the world go by. When you walk down the street with a happy-go-lucky beat, You'll find a lot in what I'm repeating When there's a shine on your shoes, there's a melody in your heart What a wonderful way to start the day
