Chattanooga Shoeshine Boy Lyrics - Singles - Kenny Price

Chattanooga Shoeshine Boy 

Red Foley 

Have you ever passed the corner of 4th and Grand 

Where a little ball of rhythm has a shoeshine stand 

The people gather round and they clap their hands he's a great big bundle of joy 

He pops a boogie woogie rag, the Chattanooga shoeshine boy. 

He charges you a nickel just to shine one shoe 

He makes the oldest kind of leather look like new 

You feel as though you wanna dance when, he gets through 

He's a great big bundle of joy 

He pops a boogie woogie rag, the Chattanooga shoeshine 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 hoppity hippity hop 

He opens up for business when the clock strikes nine 

He likes to get 'em early when they're feeling fine 

Everybody gets a little rise and shine with a great big bundle of joy 

He pops a boogie woogie rag the Chattanooga shoeshine boy. 

[ guitar ] 

It's a wonder that the rag don't tear the way he makes it pop, 

Just listen to him fan yeah.....here he goes....whoooo 

He opens up the business when the clock strikes nine, he likes to get 'em early when they're feeling fine, everybody gets a little rise and shine with a great big bundle of joy, 

He pops a boogie woogie rag the Chattanooga shoeshine boy. 

The Chattanooga Shoeshine Boy.....
