Lyrics Chattanooga Shoe Shin - Faron Young

Chattanooga Shoe Shin

Well, have you ever passed
The corner of 4th and Grand
Where a little ball of rhythm
Has a shoeshine stand
People gather round and they clap their hands
He’s a great big bundle of joy
He pops a boogie woogie rag
Chattanooga shoeshine boy
Well, he charges you a nickel
Just to shine one shoe
He makes the oldest kind
Of laughter 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
Chattanooga shoeshine boy
It’s a wonder that the rag don’t tear
The way he makes it pop
You oughta see him fan the air
With his hoppity, hippity
Hoppity, hippity, hoppity, hippity hop
He opens up for business
When the clock strikes nine
He likes to get 'em early
When they’re feelin' fine
Everybody gets a little rise and shine
'Bout that great big bungle of joy
He pops a boogie, woogie rag
Chattanooga shoeshine boy
It’s a wonder that the rag don’t tear
The way he makes it pop
You oughta see him fan the air
With his hoppity, hippity
Hoppity, hippity, hoppity, hippity hop
He opens up for business
When the clock strikes nine
He likes to get 'em early
When they’re feelin' fine
Everybody gets a little rise and shine
'Bout that great big bungle of joy
He pops a boogie, woogie rag
Chattanooga shoeshine boy…
