He charges you a nickel just to 
shine one shoe.

He makes the oldest kind of leather 
look like new.
    G#
You feel as though you wanna dance 
when he gets through..

he's a great big bundle of joy.

It's a wonder that the rag don't 
          D#
tear..the way he makes it pop.
    G#                          
You ought to see him fan the air

clock strikes nine.

He likes to get up early when 
they're feelin' fine.

Everybody gets a little rise 'n
