Noble Sissle - Shuffle Along Lyrics

An African American musician and lyricist
Noble Sissle - Shuffle Along Lyrics

The song is written by Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake from Shuffle Along the musical.

Everyone in town is always singing this song:
“Shuffle Along”—“Shuffle Along.”
Doctors, bakers, undertakers, do a step
That’s full of pep and syncopation.

“Shuffle Along,”
Oh, “Shuffle Along.”
Why, life’s but a chance,
And when times comes to choose,
If you lose,
Don’t start a-singing the blues,
But just you shuffle along,
And whistle a song.
Why, sometimes a smile will right every wrong.
Keep smiling and shuffle along.
