Shoeshine Boy Lyrics - Singles - Eddie Kendricks

Shoeshine boy how you do your work so well 

Shoeshine boy tryin' to make a livin', you go somewhere 

Shoeshine boy where are you gonna be ten years from now 

Just move, just keep workin' shoeshine boy 

I wanna know are you gonna be the richest man around 

You've been a workin' so hard 

So many things in life to learn 

Shoeshine boy, what will you discover 

Though it's a long way up, you'll reach the top 

Now when you'll finally get back 

Don't forget from where you came shoeshine boy 

Workin' so hard in the noon day sun 

Just, just keep workin' shoeshine boy 

Look at ya now, gettin' it together 

Teasing the guys and havin' lots of fun 

Shoeshine boy, yeah, don't you know that you're a star 

Yeah, you're a star shoeshine boy 

Just the way, just the way that you are 

You've been a workin' so hard 

So many things in life to learn, so much to learn 

Shoeshine boy, what will you discover 

Yeah, shoeshine boy 

Shoeshine boy 

You've been a workin' so hard 

Shoeshine boy 

Don't you know that you're a star 

That's the way that you are
