Lyrics
Saturday morning at the market square Apples on the stall and music in the air I got my dancing shoes and a shiny shine The fruit man tapping out the time Shuffle, shuffle, market day Shoes go dancing all the way Shuffle, shuffle, hey hey hey Everybody shuffle on market day Baker lifts his tray and he spins around Grandma taps her cane upon the ground Bus driver honking out the beat Everybody dancing in the street Shuffle, shuffle, market day Shoes go dancing all the way Shuffle, shuffle, hey hey hey Everybody shuffle on market day Left foot, right foot, up and down Dance with me all around the town Horns go up and the shoes go down Dance with me all around the town Shuffle, shuffle, market day Shoes go dancing all the way Shuffle, shuffle, hey hey hey Everybody shuffle on market day Hey hey hey Market day
