Petula Clark - Little Shoemaker lyrics

In the shoemaker's shop
This refrain would never stop
As he tapped away working all the day

At his bench there was he
Just as busy as a bee little time to lose
With the boots and shoes

But his heart went pop
Inside the little shop when a lovely girl
Set him all a whirl

She had come to choose
Some pretty dancing shoes
And he heard her say in her charming way

"Shoes to set my feet a dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing all the day
Shoes to set my feet a dancing, dancing
Dancing all my cares away"

Then he tapped and he stitched
For his fingers were bewitched
And he sewed a dream into every seam

Making shoes, oh so neat
Just like magic on her feet
And he hoped she'd know that he loved her so

But she danced, danced, danced
As tho' she were entranced
Like a spinning top all around the shop

On her dainty feet
She whirled into the street
And he heard her say as she danced away

"Shoes to set my feet a dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing all the day
"Shoes to set my feet a dancing, dancing
Dancing all my cares away"
