Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm (People) when you get the blues
Get a rock and roll feelin' in your bones
Put taps on your toes and just get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues
[Verse 2]
Little shoeshine boy never gets low down
But he's got the dirties job in town
Bendin' low at the people's feet
On the windy corner of the dirty street
[Verse 3]
When I asked him while he shined my shoes
How'd he keeps from gettin' the blues
He grinned then shook his little head
Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said
[Verse 4]
Get rhythm (Get rhythm) when you get the blues
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock and roll feelin' in your bones
Put taps on your toes and just get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues
[Verse 5]
Well, get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock and roll feelin' in your bones
Put taps on your toes and just get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues
[Verse 6]
Well, I stopped 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
[Verse 7]
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
Said, "You're a mighty little boy to be a-workin' that way"
He said, "I like it", with a big wide grin
And he kept on poppin' and he said again
[Verse 8]
Get rhythm (Get rhythm) when you get the blues
(Ah you better) Get rhythm when you get the blues
Well, a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
It shakes all the trouble from your worried mind
Get rhythm when you get the blues
[Verse 9]
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock and roll feelin' in your bones
Put taps on your toes and just get gone
Get rhythm (You better get rhythm) when you get the blues
