A little polish on these old shoes

Whose leather time has abused

A little polish on these old shoes

Will make'em shine like brand new

In the attic, in the half-light

This old suit don’t look so well (Well, and it smells)

On the collar is a little tear

Man, the stories this suit could tell

But if you brush off the cobwebs

This old suit still looks swell

And it seems like only yesterday

When you walked on down the aisle

With your corsage on your sweaty palm

Your face in a feverish smile

How I recall those memories

A little polish on these cufflinks

Yeah, they’re silver, no, they ain’t gold (No, they ain’t gold)

An inscription there in Latin

Whose meaning you never were told

But if you shine up those cufflinks

They never, ever look old

And it seems like only yesterday

When you first put on that suit

With your slicked-back hair, your boutonniere

Man, the girls, they thought you looked cute

How I recall those memories

A little polish on these old shoes

Whose leather time has abused

A little polish on these old shoes

Will make'em shine like brand new

A little polish is gonna make'em shine

Like brand new
