## Lyrics
[verse]
Tap, tap, tap goes the hammer in his little shop
Tap, tap, tap and the humming doesn't stop
He mends the heels and he stitches every sole
And he sings a tune that warms the poorest soul

[chorus]
The little shoemaker, so merry and so spry
Tap, tap, tap, watch the sparks go flying by
Every pair he fixes gets a wink and a song
That's how he hums the whole day long

[verse]
Children bring their boots all worn out from the play
He fixes every one and never turns away
A ribbon here, a patch of leather there
He mends more than shoes, he mends despair

[chorus]
The little shoemaker, so merry and so spry
Tap, tap, tap, watch the sparks go flying by
Every pair he fixes gets a wink and a song
That's how he hums the whole day long

[bridge]
When the bells of evening chime and close the little door
He counts his coins and wishes for a little more
But he's rich with laughter, rich with friends nearby

[chorus]
The little shoemaker, so merry and so spry
Tap, tap, tap, watch the sparks go flying by
Every pair he fixes gets a wink and a song
That's how he hums the whole day long
