Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy - Ray Anthony
Have you ever passed the corner of Forth and Grand
Where a little ball o＇ rhythm＇s got a shoe-shine stand
The neighbors gather ＇round then they clap their hand
He＇s a great big bundle o＇ joy
He pops the boogie woogie rag
The Chattanoogie shoe-shine boy
He charges you a nickel 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
Man the way this cat 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 that 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
Gotta 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 grab them they＇re feelin＇ fine
Everybody gets a little rise ＇n shine
With the great big bundle o＇ joy
He pops the boogie woogie rag
(Man his beat don＇t drag)
The Chattanoogie shoe-shine boy
(Chattanoogie shoe-shine)
He＇s my bundle of joy
