Red Foley - Chattanoogie Shoe-shine Boy lyrics

Red Foley Miscellaneous Chattanoogie Shoe-shine Boy CHATTANOOGIE SHOE-SHINE BOY Red Foley - words and music by Jack Stapp and Harry Stone Have you ever pa**ed 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 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 the great big bundle o' joy He pops the boogie woogie rag The Chattanoogie shoe-shine boy ------ instrumental break ------ 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 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
