Have you ever passed the corner
of 4th and Grand
Where a little ball of rhythm
has a shoeshine stand
People gather round and they clap their hands
He`s a great big bungle of joy
He pops a boogie woogie rag
the Chattanooga shoeshine boy
Well he charges you a nickel
just to shine one shoe
He makes the oldest kind
of laughter look like new
You feel as though you wanna
dance when he gets through
He`s a great big bungle of joy
He pops a boogie woogie rag the
Chattanooga shoeshine boy
Well it`s a wonder that the rag don`t
tear the way he makes it pop
You oughta see him fan the air with
his hoppity hippity hoppity hippity hop
He opens up for business
when the clock strikes nine
He likes to get `em early
when they`re feelin` fine
Everybody gets a little rise and shine?
He`s great big bungle of joy
He pops a boogie woogie rag
the Chattanooga shoeshine boy
