| Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Come on, get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Get a rock and' roll feeling in your bones
|
| Put taps on your toes and get gone
|
| Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| A little shoeshine boy he never gets low down
|
| But he’s got the dirtiest job in town
|
| Bending 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 getting the blues
|
| He grinned as he raised his little head
|
| He popped a shoeshine rag and then he said
|
| Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Come on, get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| A jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
|
| It’ll shake all your trouble from your worried mind
|
| Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Come on, get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Get a rock and' roll feeling in your bones
|
| Put taps on your toes and get gone
|
| Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Well, I sat down to listen to the shoeshine boy
|
| And I thought I was going to 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 working that way
|
| He said I like it with a big wide grin
|
| Kept on a popping and he said again
|
| Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| Come on, get rhythm when you get the blues
|
| It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe
|
| But does a million dollars worth of good for you
|
| Get rhythm when you get the blues |
