First of all let’s get one thing straight
All the things you desire will have to come late
Ain’t handin’ you no jive, tellin’ you it is what it ain’t
Pretendin’ I can do things that, oh, that I can’t
But I remember (I remember) I remember (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, hoo...

You might as well get rid of those crazy ideas
Rainy days will out number 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 of glory when

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, hoo...

Tellin’ the story of the glory when

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 (Ooh...)
