Chattanooga Soeshine Boy - Frank Sinatra, Alex Stordahl & His Orchestra

Have you ever passed the corner

Of Fourth and Grand

Where a little ball of rhythm

Has a shoe shine stand

People gather round

And they clap their hands

He’s a great big bundle of joy

He pops the boogie woogie rag

Chattanooga shoe shine boy

Yeah, 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 the boogie woogie rag

Chattanooga 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

Hoppity hippity hop hop 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 the great big bundle of joy

He pops the boogie woogie rag

Chattanooga shoe shine boy

Yeah, woo, oh, do it, do it, do it 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 hop 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 the great big bundle of joy

He pops the boogie woogie rag

Chattanooga shoe shine boy

Yeah, woo, do it, do it, do it, do it
