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 |
|
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' |
|
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 workin' that way |
|
He said 'I like it' with a big wide grin |
|
He 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' |
