Have you ever passed
the corner of Forth and Grand?...
Where a little ball of rhythm
has a.. shoe shine stand...
People gather 'round
and they clap their hands
He's a great big bundle of joy...
He pops a boogie woogie rag...
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy...

He charges you a nickel
just to shine one shoe..
He makes the oldest kind
of leather look like new...
You feel as though you
want to dance when he gets through...
He's a great big bundle of joy
He pops a 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 'em early
when they're feelin' fine...
Ev'rybody gets
a little rise~ and shine...
With the great big bundle of joy...
He pops a boogie woogie rag..
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy...
