The Little Shoemaker lyrics

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

With the boots and the shoes

But his heart went "pop"

Inside the little shop

When a lovely girl

Set him 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"
