4 = blow hole 4-4 = draw hole 4’ = bend< = slide in
Have you ev-er passed the cor-ner of
Forth and Grand
Where a lit-tle ball o'rhy-thm has a
shoe shine stand
Peo-ple gath-er 'round and they
clap their hands
He's a great big bun-dle o'joy
He pops a boog-ie woog-ie rag
The Chat-ta-noo-gie shoe shine boy
He charg-es you a nick-el just to
shine one shoe
He makes the old-est kind o'leath-er
look like new
You feel as though you wan-na dance when
he gets through
He's a great big bund-le o' joy
He pops a boog-ie woog-ie rag
The Chat-ta-noog-ie shoe shine boy
It's a won-der that the rag don't tear
The way he makes it pop
You ought to see him fan the air
With his hop-pit-y-hip-pit-y-hip-pit-y
Hop-pit-y-hop-pit-y-hip-pit-y-hop
He o-pens up for bus-'ness when the
clock strikes nine
He likes to get 'em ear-ly when they're
Feel-in' fine
Ev-'ry-bod-y gets a lit-tle rise 'n shine
With the great big bun-dle o'joy
He pops a boog-ie woog-ie rag
The Chat-ta-noo-gie shoe shine boy
