[Verse 1]
 
C                   F                G                  C
Shoeshine boy, he's makin' his money workin' downtown on Main Street
C                 F                  G                      C
Shoeshine boy, I know it ain't funny cleanin' everything on two feet
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    F               G                  C                F
Get down, get down upon your knees and brush your blues away
 C                F                                G                               F        C
It won't be long 'til Saturday night and you'll be dancin' with your lady 'til the break of day.

Shoeshine boy, don't have no ambition, just wants to be a kerbside boot black
C                    F                     G                         C
Shoeshine boy, your daddy's getting older, gotta take the weight off his back
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    F               G                  C                F
Get down, get down upon your knees and brush your blues away

It won't be long 'til Saturday night and you'll be dancin' with your lady 'til the break of day.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
F                                  Am                G F
You know you feel so good when she comes to need you
F                                     Am         G         C   G
And when you're dancin' together, you just can't beat you.
