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 going
Get rhythm when you get the blues
A little shoe shine boy,
he never gets low down
But he's got the dirtiest job in town
Bending low at the people's feet
On the windy corner of the dirty street
Well, I asked him while he shined
my shoes
how to keep from getting the blues
He grinned as he raised his
little head.
He popped his 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 'n 'roll feelin' in your bones
Put taps on your toes and get going
get rhythm when you get the blues
well i sat down to listen to
the shoe shine boy
and i thought i was gonna jump with joy
slapped on a shoe polish left and right
he took his shoe shine rag
and he held it tight
he stopped once to wipe the sweat away
i said you mighty little boy
to be a working that way
he said i like it with a big white 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 cost a dime
Just a nickel or shoe,
it does a million dollars worth of good
When you get rhythm,
when you get the blues
