CHATTANOOGA SHOESHINE BOY
Recorded by: Red Foley
[1] Have you ever passed the corner
of fourth and grand
Where a little ball of rhythm
has a shoeshine stand
[4] People gather 'round and they clap their hands
he's a [1] great big bundle of joy
He pops a [5] boogie-woogie rag
the Chattanooga Shoeshine [1] Boy
He charges you a nickel
just to shine one shoe
He makes the oldest kind-a leather
look like new
You feel as tho you wanta dance when he gets thru
he's a great big bundle of joy
He pops a boogie-woogie rag
the Chattanooga Shoeshine Boy
It's a [4] wonder that the rag don't tear
[1] the way he makes it pop
[2] You ought to see him fan the air
with his [5] [pause]
hoppity hippity hippty hoppity
hoppity hippity hop --- [1]
He opens up for business
when the clock strikes nine
He likes to get 'em early
when they're feelin fine
Ev'rybody gets a little rise-and-shine
with a greag 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
Just listen to him fan the air
here he goes [*]
He opens up for business
when the clock strikes nine
He likes to get 'em early
when they're feelin fine
Ev'rybody gets a little rise-and-shine
with a great big bundle of joy
He pops a boogie-woogie rag
the Chattanooga Shoeshine Boy
[*] = poppin' sounds
