Have you ever passed the corner of Forth and Grand
Where a little ball o' rhythm has a shoe-shine stand People gather 'round and they clap their hands He's a great big bundle o' 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 o' leather look like new
You feel as though you wanna dance when he gets through He's a great big bundle o' 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 feelin' fine
Everybody gets a little rise 'n shine With the great big bundle o' 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 Just listen to him fan the air Here he goes
He opens up for business when the clock strikes nine He likes to get up early when they're feelin' fine
Everybody gets a little rise 'n shine With the great big bundle o' joy
He pops the boogie woogie rag The Chattanoogie shoe-shine boy
The Chattanoogie shoe-shine boy
