Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy

[Words and Music by Jack Stapp and Harry Stone]

Have you ever passed the corner of Forth and Grand
Where a little ball o'rhythm has a shoe shine stand
People gather 'round and they clap their hands
He's a great big bundle o'joy
He pops the boogie woogie rag
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy

He charges you a nickel just 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
The way he makes it pop
You ought to see him fan the air
With his hoppity-hippity-hippity
Hoppity-hoppity-hippity-hop

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 o'joy
He pops the boogie woogie rag
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

It's a wonder that the rag don't tear
The way he makes it pop
Just listen to him fan the air
Here goes

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 o'joy
He pops the boogie woogie rag
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy

The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy

Title:Cindy, Oh Cindy
Artist: Vince Martin and The Tarriers - Contributor:Webmaster

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound

I joined the Navy to see the world
But nowhere could I find
A girl as sweet as Cindy
The girl I left behind
I've sailed the wide world over
Can't get her out of my mind

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound

I see her face in every wave
Her lips kiss every breeze
Her lovin' arms reach out to me
Through calm and stormy sea
At night I face the lonely deck
Caressed by memories

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound

I know my Cindy's waiting
As I walk the deck alone
Her lovin' arms reach out to me
Soon I'll be heading home
Then my sailin' days will be over
And no more will I roam

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound
