Get Rhythm

Hey, get rhythm When you get the blues C'mon, get rhythm When you get the blues Get a rock and roll feeling in your bones Put taps on your toes, and get goin' 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 peoples' feet On a windy corner of a dirty street Well, I asked him while she shined my shoes How'd he keep from getting the blues He grinned as he raised his little head He popped a shoe-shine rag, and then he said Get rhythm When you get the blues C'mon, 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 C'mon, get rhythm When you get the blues Get a rock and roll feeling in your bones Put taps on your toes, and get goin' 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 for joy Slapped on the shoe polish left and right He took a shoe-shine 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 Kept on a-poppin' and he said again Get rhythm When you get the blues C'mon, get rhythm When you get the blues It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe It does a million dollars worth of good for you Get rhythm When you get the blues
