Hey get rhythm when you get the blues

C'mon get rhythm when you get the blues

Get a rock and roll feelin' in your bones

Get taps on your toes and get gone

Get rhythm when you get the blues A little shoeshine boy he never gets lowdown

But he's got the dirtiest job in town

Bendin' low at the people's feet

On a windy corner of a dirty street

Well I asked him while he shined my shoes

How'd he keep from gettin' 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

C'mon get rhythm when you get the blues

Yes a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine

It'll shake all your troubles 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

C'mon get rhythm when you get the blues

Get a rock and roll feelin' in your bones

Get taps on your toes and get gone

Get rhythm when you get the blues Well I sat and listened to the sunshine boy

I thought I was gonna jump with joy

He slapped on the shoe polish left and right

He took his shoeshine rag and he held it tight

He stopped once to wipe the sweat away

I said you mighty little boy to be a workin' that way

He said I like it with a big wide grin

Kept on a poppin' and he'd say it again Get rhythm when you get the blues

C'mon get rhythm when you get the blues

It only cost a dime just a nickel a shoe

It does a million dollars worth of good for you

Get rhythm when you get the blues
