Get Rhythm

Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm, when you get the blues
Get a rock n' roll, feel it in your bones
Put taps on your toes and get goin'
Get rhythm when you get the blues

A little shoeshine boy never gets low down
He's got the dirtiest job in town
Bendin' low at the people's feet
On the windy corner of the dusty street

When I asked him while he shined my shoes
How'd he keeps from gettin' the blues
He grinned and he raised his little head
Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said

"Get rhythm, yeah, when you get the blues
Come on, and get rhythm, when you get the blues
A chopped rhythm that makes you feel so fine
It will shake off your troubles from your worried mind
Get rhythm when you get the blues"

Get rhythm (get it), when you get the blues
Get rhythm, yeah, when you get the blues
Get a rock n' roll feel it in your bones
Put tap on your toes and just get gone
Get rhythm, when you get the blues

Well, I sat and listen to the shoeshine boy
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 his sweat away
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

"Get rhythm, when you get the blues
Come on, and get rhythm, boy when you get the blues
It only cost a dime, just a nickle a shoe
It does a million dollar worth of good for you
Get rhythm when you get the blues"
