Chattanooga Shoeshine Boy:Freddy Cannon.
#34 in 1960.
#1.
Have you ever passed the corner of Forth 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..the Chattanooga shoe-shine boy.
#2.
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..the Chattanooga shoe-shine boy.
CHORUS:
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.
#3.
He opens up for business when the clock strikes nine.
He likes to get up early when they re feelin fine.
Everybody gets a little rise n shine with the great
big bundle of joy.
He pops the boogie woogie rag..the Chattanooga shoe-shine boy.

CHORUS:

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
