Noe Venable - Shoeshine man lyrics

Who's that spankin' up the Weather of the afternoon? Exterminater for the legions of the co*kroaches of gloom Mister ears hang low I'm barkin' at you It gets scary in the morning When the silver night has flown We make merry in the gutter Where rats like us belong You try to rough ride against the tide But the tide is awful strong La la la la la la Shoe shine man I get hazy on my own You get what I'm sayin'? Shoe shine man You leave them a shine But they leave you alone I been in my bed Just a tossin' the night away I been dinghy for a schooner Row - rowin' the seas of grey I was lost but now I'm found And running down the drain La la la la la la Shoe shine man I get crazy on my own You get what I'm sayin'? Shoe shine man They leave you a dime But they leave you alone I'll be on my way If I can keep it under me Belly flopping for a medal Or a nowhere I have seen I'm gonna miss this emptiness Like sailors miss gangrene La la la la la la Shoeshine man Horse - horsin' 'neath the Lady city's whip Shoeshine man I'll give you a dime and I'll give you the slip
