===============================================
Have you ever passed the
corner of Forth and Grand
where a little ball of rhythm
has a shoe shine stand
People gather round
and they clap their hands
He's a great big bundle of joy
He pops the boogie woogie rag
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy
He charges you a nickel
just to shine one shoe
He makes the oldest kind
of leather look like new
You feel as though you wanna
dance when he gets through
He's a great big bundle of joy
He pops the boogie woogie rag
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy
It's a wonder
that the rag don't tear
The way he makes it pop
You ought to see him fan the air
with his hoppity hippity hippity
hoppity hoppity hippity hop
He opens up for business
when the clock strikes nine
He likes to get up early
when they're feeling fine
Everybody gets
a little rise and shine with
the great big bundle of joy
He pops the boogie woogie rag
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy
It's a wonder
that the rag don't tear
The way he makes it pop
You ought to see him fan the air
with his hoppity hippity hippity
hoppity hoppity hippity hop
He opens up for business
when the clock strikes nine
He likes to get up early
when they're feeling fine
Everybody gets
a little rise and shine with
the great big bundle of joy
He pops the boogie woogie rag
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy
