"The Little Shoemaker" lyrics

"The Little Shoemaker"

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 shoes

But his heart went pop
Inside the little shop
When a lovely girl
Set him all a whirl

She had come to choose
Some pretty dancing shoes
And he heard her say
In her 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 tho' 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
