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
