Get Rhythm

Lyrics

Hey, get rhythm When you get the blues Come on, get rhythm When you get the blues Get a rock-and-roll feelin' down in your bones Put taps on your toes and then get gone Get rhythm When you get the blues A little shoeshine boy, he never gets low down He's got the dirtiest job in town Bendin' low at the peoples' feet On a windy corner on a dirty street When I asked him how to shine my shoe How do you keep from a-gettin' the blues? He grinned as he raised his little head He slapped a shoeshine rag and then he said Get rhythm When you get the blues Come on, get rhythm When you get the blues Well, 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, yeah Well, I sat down and listened to the shoeshine boy And I thought I was goin' to jump for joy Slapped on the shoe polish left and right He gripped his rag as he held it tight He stopped just-a 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 great big grin He kept on 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, it's just a nickel a shoe It does a million dollars worth of good for you Get rhythm When you get the blues Come on, get rhythm When you get the blues, yeah
