| Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones
|
| Get taps on your toes and just get gone
|
| Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Little shoeshine boy never gets low down
|
| But he’s got the dirtiest job in town
|
| Bendin' low at the peoples' feet
|
| On the windy corner of the dirty street
|
| Well, I asked him while he shined my shoes
|
| How’d he keep from gettin' the blues
|
| He grinned as he shook his little head
|
| Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said
|
| Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe
|
| Does a million dollars worth of good for you
|
| Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Well, I started to listen to the shoeshine boy
|
| And I thought I was gonna jump for joy
|
| Slapped on the shoe polish left and right
|
| He took a shoeshine rag and he held it tight
|
| He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
|
| I said you’re a mighty little boy to be a-workin' that way
|
| He said «I like it», with a big wide grin
|
| And he kept on poppin' and he said again
|
| Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Yes a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
|
| It shakes all the trouble from your worried mind
|
| Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones
|
| Get taps on your toes and get gone
|
| Get rhythm when you get the blues |
