Chattanooga Shoeshine Boy

C
Have you ever passed the corner of fourth and grand
                                    C7
Where a little ball of rhythm has a shoeshine stand
F
People gather round and they clap their hands
       C
He's a great big bundle of joy
          G7                                          C
He pops a boogie-woogie rag the Chattanooga Shoeshine Boy


He charges you a nickel just to shine one shoe
                                   C7
He makes the oldest kind-a leather look like new
    F
You feel as tho you wanta dance when he gets thru
       C
He's a great big bundle of joy
Continues after the ad

C7     F                                 C
It's a wonder that the rag don't tear the way he makes it pop
    D7
You ought to see him fan the air
         G7                                             C
with his hoppity hippity hippty hoppity hoppity hippity hop


He opens up for business when the clock strikes nine
                                       C7
He likes to get 'em early when they're feelin fine
F                                             C
Everybody gets a little rise and shine with a great big bundle of joy
