Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boy Lyrics

Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boy - Red Foley

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 listen to 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

The chattanoogie shoe-shine boy
