First of all, let's get one thing straight
All the things you desire will have to come late
Ain't handing you no jive
Tellin' you it is what it ain't
Pretendin' I can do things that I, oh, that I can't
But I remember (I remember)
I remember when (I remember)
Shoe, shoe shine used to cost a dime
A penny could buy you plenty
A nickel was the fare to take you anywhere
Troubles, we didn't have many
I may not have much to speak of
But there'll always be plenty of love
You might as well get rid of those crazy ideas
Rainy days will outnumber the ones you see clear
The picture in your dreams, no
That ain't the way it's gonna be
When you sit in your lucky chair
All you may have is me tellin' the story (tellin' the story)
Of the glory when (of the glory)
Shoe, shoe shine used to cost a dime
A penny could buy you plenty
A nickel was the fare to take you anywhere
Troubles, we didn't have many
I may not have much to speak of
But there'll always be plenty of love
Tellin' the story (tellin' the story)
Of the glory when (of the glory)
Shoe, shoe shine used to cost a dime
A penny could buy you plenty
A nickel was the fare to take you anywhere
Troubles, we didn't have many
Shoe, shoe shine used to cost a dime
A penny could buy you plenty
A nickel was the fare to take you anywhere
Troubles, we didn't have many
Shoe, shoe shine used to cost a dime
A penny could buy you plenty
A nickel was the fare to take you anywhere
Troubles, we didn't have many
