Mama used to take me to the corner store
When she ran out of something and she needed more
Iâm always happy to help mama when I can
âCause at the corner is a nice young man
One day when I was down there buying sugar and bread
Mama thought weâd just go to the diner instead
She came down to the corner store looking for me
And when she came in you shoulda heard what she said
Baby what youâre doinâ with a grocer like that?
Oh mama thatâs no grocer, thatâs a shoeshine boy
Shoeshine boy, you never miss a spot
Itâs the best shoeshininâ that I ever got
For a little bit more you get the job done right
And my shoes stay shined for the rest of the night
Shoeshine boy oh oh you didnât stutter
When you told me that sheâd give me more than bread and butter
Mama can go to the diner on her own
âCause the shoeshine boy doesnât like to work alone
