HEY, 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 GONE
GET RHYTHM
WHEN YOU GET THE BLUES
A LITTLE SHOESHINE BOY
HE NEVER DID SLOW DOWN
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
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 GONE
GET RHYTHM
WHEN YOU GET THE BLUES
WELL, I SAT AND I LISTENED
TO THE SHOESHINE BOY
AND I THOUGHT I WAS
GONNA JUMP WITH JOY
SLAPPED ON THE SHOE
POLISH LEFT AND RIGHT
HE TOOK HIS SHOESHINE RAG
AND HE HELD IT TIGHT
HE STOPPED ONCE
TO WIPE HIS 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 SAID AGAIN
GET RHYTHM
WHEN YOU GET THE BLUES
COME ON, GET RHYTHM
WHEN YOU GET THE BLUES
IT ONLY COSTS A DIME
JUST A NIKEL A SHOE
IT DOES A MILLION DOLLARS
WORTH OF GOOD FOR YOU
GET RHYTHM
WHEN YOU GET THE BLUES
