Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
Get taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm
When you get the blues
[Verse 2]
A little shoeshine boy, he never gets low down
But he's got the dirtiest job in town
Bending 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 getting the blues
He grinned as he raised his little head
He popped his shoe shine rag and then he said
[Verse 3]
Get rhythm
When you get the blues
Come on, get rhythm
When you get the blues
Yes, a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
It'll shake all your troubles from your worried mind
Get rhythm
When you get the blues
[Verse 4]
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
Get taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm
When you get the blues
[Verse 5]
Well, I sat and listened to the shoe shine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump with joy
He slapped on the shoe, polish left and right
He took a shoe shine rag and he held it tight
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
I said you mighty little boy to be a working that way
He said, I like it with a big wide grin
Kept on a popping and he's say it again
[Verse 6]
Get rhythm
When you get the blues
Come on, 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
