Laura Nyro — California Shoeshine Boys lyrics

California sunshine boys, counting up their dimes,
Counting up the girls they've known and counting up the times.
I got heartache but I got news, California sunshine boys, you can shine my shoes.

California sunshine boys never really care, only for that California shoeshine in their hair.
I got heartache, I got heartache, I got miles of heartache, I got heartache, I got heartache,
But I got news, California sunshine boys, yeah.

California sunshine boys, rapping ten feet tall.
John can make sweet Cindy cry but Joe can make her crawl.
I got heartache but I got news, California sunshine boys, you can shine my shoes.

California sunshine boys, California sunshine boys, California sunshine boys…
