Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
|
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
|
Yes a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
|
It'll shake all the trouble from your worried mind
|
Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
|
|
Little shoeshine boy never gets low down
|
But he's got the dirtiest job in town
|
Bendin' 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 gettin' the blues
|
He grinned as he raised his little head
|
Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said
|
|
Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
|
It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe
|
Does a million dollars worth of good for you
|
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 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
|
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
|
Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones
|
Get taps on your toes and get gone
|
Get rhythm when you get the blues
|
