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 |
