Hoppity-hippity-hippity-hoppity-hoppity-hippity-hop 
Mop, mop 

Have you ever passed the corner of Forth and Grand? 
Where a little ball o' rhythm's a shoe shine stand 
The neighbors gather 'round and then they clap their 
hand 

He's a great big bundle o' joy 
He pops the boogie woogie rag 
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy 

He charges you a nickel to shine one shoe 
He makes the oldest kind o' leather look like new 
You feel as though you wanna dance when he gets through 

He's a great big bundle o' joy 
He pops the boogie woogie rag 
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy 

It's a wonder that the rag don't tear 
Man the way this cat makes it pop, mop 
You ought to see him fan the air 
With his hoppity-hippity-hippity-hoppity-hoppity-
hippity-hoppity 

He likes to catch 'em early when they're feelin' fine 
Everybody gets a little rise 'n shine 

With that great big bundle o' joy 
He pops the boogie woogie rag 
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy 

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-hippity-hoppity-hoppity-
hippity-hoppity 

He opens up for business when the clock strikes nine 
He likes to catch 'em early when they're feelin' fine 
Everybody gets a little rise 'n shine 

With that great big bundle o' joy 
He pops the boogie woogie rag 
The Chattanoogie shoe shine 

He's my bundle o' joy, man you know one thing 
If you don't get your foot out of the way at time 
This cat will bad down, run through the leather 
And manicure your toes as great, mop
