Lyrics

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 want to 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  
(instrumental break)  
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.
