Little Shoemaker Songtext
von Petula Clark

In the shoemaker 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
With the boots and shoes
But his heart went pop
Inside the little shop
When a lovely girl
Set ′em all awhirl
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 day
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 day
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
Dancing all my cares away
