Have you ever passed the corner of Fourth and Grand
Where a little ball o' rhythm has a shoeshine 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 shoeshine boy
 
Well, 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
Chattanoogie shoeshine boy
 
It's a wonder that the rag don't tear
The way he makes it pop
Oh, you ought to see him fan the air
With his hoppity-hippity-hippity-hoppity-hoppity-hippity-hop
 
He opens up the business when the clock strikes nine
He likes to get 'em early when they're feelin' fine
Everybody gets a little rise 'n shine
He's a great big bundle o' joy
He pops the boogie-woogie rag
Chattanoogie shoeshine boy
 
Go to work there son
Mhm, I can see my reflection
 
Oh, 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-hippity-hippity-hippity-hop
 
He opens up the business when the clock strikes nine
He likes to get 'em early when they're feelin' fine
Everybody gets a little rise 'n shine
He's a great big bundle o' joy
He pops the boogie-woogie rag
Chattanoogie shoeshine boy
 
Give it just a little touch up, mhm
The Chattanoogie shoeshine boy
