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 feeling in your bones
 Put taps on your toes and get gone
 Get rhythm when you get the blues
 A little shoeshine boy, he never gets low down
 But he's got the dirtiest job in town
 Bending low at the peoples' feet
 On the windy corner of the dirty street
 Well, I asked him while he shined my shoes
 How'd he keep from getting the blues
 He grinned as he raised his little head
 He popped a 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 and roll feeling in your bones
 Put taps on your toes and get gone
 Get rhythm when you get the blues
 Well, I sat down to listen to the shoeshine boy
 And 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 the sweat away
 I said, "You're a mighty little boy to be a working 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 nickel a shoe
 But does a million dollars worth of good for you
 Get rhythm when you get the blues
