Have you ever passed the corner of Forth and Grand?

Where a little ball of rhythm has a shoe-shine stand?
Ab5
People gather round and they clap their hands..
       Eb5
he's a great big bundle of joy.
            Bb5                     Ab5                     Eb5  Bb5
He pops the boogie-woogie rag..the Chattanooga shoe-shine boy.

He charges you a nickel just to shine one shoe.

He makes the oldest kind of leather look like new.
    Ab5
You feel as though you wanna dance when he gets through..
       Eb5
he's a great big bundle of joy.
            Bb5                     Ab5                     Eb5
He pops the boogie-woogie rag..the Chattanooga shoe-shine boy.

CHORUS:
Eb5    Ab5                                  Eb5
It's a wonder that the rag don't tear..the way he makes it pop.
    Ab5                                    Bb5
You ought to see him fan the air with his hoppity-hippity-hoppity-

hippity-hop-hop-hop.

He opens up for business when the clock strikes nine.

He likes to get up early when they're feelin' fine.
Ab5                                             Eb5
Everybody gets a little rise 'n shine with the great 

big bundle of joy.

He pops the boogie woogie rag..the Chattanooga shoe-shine boy.
