Get Rhythm (feat. The Tennessee Two)

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 goin'

Get rhythm when you get the blues

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 shoeshine rag and then he said

"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

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 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 his shoe-shine 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"

Come on, get rhythm when you get the blues

It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe

It does a million dollars worth of good for you

Get rhythm when you get the blues
