Music by Ford Dabney. Copyright 1924. Key Eb VERSE: "Happy Jack - known around the town as "some" boot-black Never worried tho' he worked like sin, had a grin guaranteed to bring the bus'ness in Ev'ry day when they'd ask him how he got that way he would tell `em "If you envy me, just try my recipe" CHORUS: " Shine - away your blues-ies - Shine - start with your shoes-ies - Shine each place up make it look like new, shine your face up wear a smile or two, Shine - your these and thos-ies - you'll find that everything will turn out fine, Folks will shine up to ya, everyone will "howdy-do" ya, You'll make the whole world shine" |
