Frank Sinatra Lyrics

"Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy" lyrics


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
