People throw shoes out nowadays....
I stood at the counter of the cobblers shop
Eric Bishop /for boot repair
283 St Ann's Well Road
I would often visit there
He would sew on my buckles, or mend my soles
Where I'd worn them out, making holes
He could always fix them, and make them shine
They'd be looking like new, for a little bit more time
Mam said, go to Quality House, you need to have some new
But these are my favourite buckle strap, and they're royal blue
Anyway I like that shop, sat in my stocking feet
The smell and the newness of leather, I'd find it such a treat
I'd often stare at the large glass case
There was a big fish in it with a strange looking face
At last my shoes were mended, I paid and said thank you
Walking back up Old Senty, my shoes as good as new
So to Mr Bishop, who's a memory of the past
Thanks for mending my shoes, and making them last
Another memory out of my keepsake tin.
Did you take your shoes to be mended?
My Dad had a shoe repair kits along with shoe polish x
