It was a cold, but sunny October day
When a rich man walked down Broadway
He's a member of the stock exchange
All the wealthy are in his range
Around the corner there is a shoe-shiner
Better clean those boots, you look like a miner
So the man sat down and smoked his pipe
When the boy said, sir, you should sell
There were whispers in the wind, I heard talk
You should better sell all your stocks
Freddie is a shoe-shine boy
He cleans them all full of joy
Freddie is a shoe-shine boy
But he's more than a rich man's toy
Little boy, you have no part in our show
Stay with what you should know
Here's a penny for my shining shoes
But better don't spend it on booze
For his arrogance, he would have to pay
When he learned about Black Friday
The shoe boy was right, he lost all he had
Why did he ignore the young lad?
Freddie is a shoe-shine boy
He cleans them all full of joy
Freddie is a shoe-shine boy
But he's more than a rich man's toy
ย
Freddie is a shoe-shine boy
He cleans them all full of joy
Freddie is a shoe-shine boy
But he's more than a rich man's toy
Freddie is a shoe-shine boy
He cleans them all full of joy
Freddie is a shoe-shine boy
But he's more than a rich man's toy
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
