Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy Lyrics

(Harry Stone - Jack Stapp)

Have you ever passed the corner of 4th and Grand
Where a little ball of rhythm has a shoeshine stand
People gather round and they clap their hands
He's a great big bundle of joy
He pops a boogie woogie rag the Chattanooga shoeshine boy.

He charges you a nickel just to shine one shoe
He makes the oldest kind of laughter look like new
You feel as though you wanna dance when he gets through
He's a great big bundle of joy
He pops a boogie woogie rag the Chattanooga shoeshine boy.

It's a wonder that the rag don't tear the way he makes it pop
You should see him fan the air with his hoppity, hippity
Hoppity, hippity, hop
He opens up for business when the clock strikes nine
He likes to get 'em early when they're feelin' fine.

Everybody gets a little rise and shine
With the great big bundle of joy
He pops a boogie woogie rag
The Chattanooga shoeshine boy.

Hoppity, hippity, hop

He likes to get 'em early when they're feelin' fine.

Everybody gets a little rise and shine
With the great big bundle of joy
He pops a boogie woogie rag
The Chattanooga shoeshine boy.

He pops a boogie woogie rag
The Chattanooga shoeshine boy...
