Get Rhythm |
| 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 |
