The Cobbler (Tapping Tapping)

Lyrics

(Melody by E. W. Newton, Lyrics by Celia Standish)

Tapping tapping ‘tis the cobbler,
There’s his shop across the way.
Tapping tapping goes the hammer,
I can hear it all the day.

Tapping tapping when I ask him,
“Please, sir, will you mend my shoes?”
Tapping tapping while he answers,
“Surely! Anytime you choose!”
