Lyrics

[Chorus 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 Put taps on your toes and get gone Get rhythm when you get the blues [Verse 1] 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 Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said [Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus 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 Put taps on your toes and get gone Get rhythm when you get the blues [Verse 2] Well, I sat down to listen to the shoeshine boy And I thought I was going to 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 popping and he said again [Chorus 3] 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 Does a million dollars worth of good for you Get rhythm when you get the blues
