HOPPITY HIPPITY HOP MOP MOP
the corner of Forth and Grand
Where a little ball of rhythm's
The neighbors gather round
and then they clap their hand
He's a great big bundle of joy
He pops a boogie -woogie rag
The Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy
He charges you a nickel to
He makes the oldest kind of leather
You feel as though you wanna dance
He's a great big bundle of joy
He pops a boogie -woogie rag
The Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy
That cat is a hoist, my lord
the way this cat makes it pop. Pop!
My, you ought to see him fan the air
with his hoppity -hippity -hippity -hoppity
-hoppity -hippity -hoppity.
when the clock strikes nine.
He likes to catch them early
when they're feeling fine.
Everybody gets a little rise and shine
With that great big bundle of joy
He pops a boogie -woogie rag
The Chattanoogie Shoeshine Boy
It's a wonder that the rag don't tear
Gotta see him fan the air
With his hoppity -hippity,
when the clock strikes nine
He likes to grab them early
when they're feeling fine
Everybody gets a little rise and shine
With that great big bundle of joy
He pops a boogie -woogie rag,
man his beat doesn't brag
if you don't get your foot
this cat'll bear down right
and manicure your toes, that's great.
