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 |
