Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues C'mon get rhythm, when you get the blues Get a rock 'n roll feeling in your bones Put taps on your toes and get goin' Get rhythm, when you get the blues. Little shoeshine boy never get slowed down But he's got the dirtiest job in town Bendin' low at the peoples' feet On the 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 Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said. Hey, 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 the troubles 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 'n 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 shoeshine boy And I thought I was gonna jump with 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 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 cost a dime, just a nickel a shoe It does a million dollars worth of good for you Get rhythm, when you get the blues
