Lyrics

An oth er dawn, (Eb)an oth er (Bb)day, an oth er dol (F)lar to be made.

(F)I got a (C)pock et in my soul where (Eb)a lit tle (Bb)rock, a lit tle roll (F)as sim i late.

And I don’t care (Eb)what (Bb)you think you know

’bout who I am and how it goes.

I made it eas (Eb)y to be (Bb)me, so yeah, it’s eas (F)y to be me.

(Eb)And that’s (G7)why I say…

I know you can’t stand me ’cause I make you so an gry more and more each day.

(Eb)Hey, (F)hey, hey!

The way you don’t love me kind a makes you look ug ly, ev ’ry word you say.

(Eb)Hey, (F)hey, hey!

Come up and see me.

Ho, ho, ho!

I kind a like the a buse.

(Eb)Hey, (F)hey, hey!

There’s no room in my bed but while you’re here just bow your (Bb)head and you can shine my shoes.

Shine (F)my shoes.

Shine (F)my shoes.

(Un til I see my face.)

Shine My Shoes by Robbie Williams — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Shine My Shoes” by Robbie Williams in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 124 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
