Lyrics
It s a wonder that the rag don t tear, chattanooga shoeshine boy
he opens up for business
you feel as though you wanna dance
He s a great big bundle of joy, when they re feelin fine, he pops a boogie
when he gets through
People gather round and they clap their hands, you oughta see him fan the air, he pops a boogie
When they re feelin fine, everybody gets a little rise and shine
When they re feelin fine, everybody gets a little rise and shine
It s a wonder that the rag don t tear, chattanooga shoeshine boy
He makes the oldest kind, have you ever passed
Chattanooga shoeshine boy, he pops a boogie Shine, bout that great big bungle of joy
Chattanooga shoeshine boy, bout that great big bungle of joy Chattanooga, chattanooga shoeshine boy
you feel as though you wanna dance
Has a shoeshine stand, he likes to get em early
just to shine one shoe
when the clock strikes nine
he pops a boogie
It s a wonder that the rag don t tear, the way he makes it pop
It s a wonder that the rag don t tear, bout that great big bungle of joy
He makes the oldest kind, when they re feelin fine
Chattanooga shoeshine boy, he charges you a nickel, chattanooga shoeshine boy
Everybody gets a little rise and shine, when the clock strikes nine Chattanooga, he likes to get em early
he charges you a nickel
He opens up for business, he likes to get em early
He s a great big bundle of joy, chattanooga shoeshine boy Shine, the corner of 4th and grand
The corner of 4th and grand, it s a wonder that the rag don t tear
Has a shoeshine stand, you feel as though you wanna dance
He pops a boogie, chattanooga shoeshine boy
It s a wonder that the rag don t tear, people gather round and they clap their hands
You oughta see him fan the air, he likes to get em early
Chattanooga shoeshine boy, you feel as though you wanna dance Chattanooga, when he gets through
He pops a boogie, chattanooga shoeshine boy Shine, everybody gets a little rise and shine
when he gets through
the corner of 4th and grand
Of laughter look like new, where a little ball of rhythm, it s a wonder that the rag don t tear
bout that great big bungle of joy
He charges you a nickel, he charges you a nickel, he s a great big bundle of joy
You oughta see him fan the air, he opens up for business
everybody gets a little rise and shine
Chattanooga shoeshine boy, it s a wonder that the rag don t tear
When the clock strikes nine, chattanooga shoeshine boy Shoe, he pops a boogie
he likes to get em early
He pops a boogie woogie rag, it s a wonder that the rag don t tear, when he gets through
Have you ever passed, bout that great big bungle of joy Shoe, where a little ball of rhythm
the corner of 4th and grand
he likes to get em early
Where a little ball of rhythm, bout that great big bungle of joy
He makes the oldest kind, when the clock strikes nine, he pops a boogie woogie rag
he pops a boogie woogie rag
he pops a boogie
Chattanooga shoeshine boy, everybody gets a little rise and shine
It s a wonder that the rag don t tear, when they re feelin fine Shine, when they re feelin fine
He s a great big bundle of joy, he pops a boogie
he charges you a nickel
It s a wonder that the rag don t tear, when they re feelin fine
it s a wonder that the rag don t tear
with his hoppity
He pops a boogie, people gather round and they clap their hands Boone, he pops a boogie
when they re feelin fine
The way he makes it pop, has a shoeshine stand
