shine
'Cause my hair is curly Just because my teeth are pearly Just because I always wear a smile Like to dress up in the latest style  'Cause I'm glad I'm livin' I take these troubles all with a smile Just because my color's shady That's the difference, maybe, why they call me  Shine, sway your bluesies Why don't you shine? Start with your shoesies Shine each place up, make it look like new Shine your face up; I want to see you wear a smile or two  Why don't you shine your these and thoseies? You'll find everything gonna turn out right fine Folks will shine up to ya Everybody's gonna howdy doody do-ya You'll make the whole world shine  Oh, chocolate drop, that's me  'Cause my hair is curly (man's got curly hair) Now just because my teeth are pearly (also got pearly teeth) Just because I always wear a smile (oh, keep on smiling) Like to dress us, babe, in the latest style  'Cause I'm glad I'm livin' I take these troubles all with a smile Now just because my color's shady (you's a shady baby) That's the difference, maybe, why they call me  Shine away your bluesies Shine, start with your shoesies You'll make the whole world shine
