|
Tap, tap, stitch and tap
|
Make me a pair of shoes
|
|
Lei scarpini de bailare, bailare.
|
Bailaremos tutusi.
|
Lei scarpini de bailare, bailare.
|
Bailaremos con cosi.
|
|
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 for the boots and shoes
|
|
But his heart went "pop" inside the little shop
|
When a lovely girl set 'em all a-whirl
|
She had come to choose some pretty dancing shoes
|
And he heard her say in a 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 though 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
|
|
Lei scarpini de bailare, bailare.
|
Bailaremos tutusi.
|
Lei scarpini de bailare, bailare.
|
Bailaremos con cosi.
|
|
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
|
Dancing all my cares away
|
|
All my cares away!!
