Hey, get a rhythm when
you get the blues
Come on, get a rhythm
when you get the blues
Get a rock and roll feeling in your bones
Put taps on your toes and then get going
Get a rhythm when you
get the blues
A little shoe -shining boy
will never get slowed down
But he's got the dirtiest job in town
Bendin' low over people's feet
on the windy corner of a dirty street
I asked him while he shined my shoes
how he kept from gettin' the blues
He grinned as he raised
up his little head,
what the shoes shined like
And then he said,
get a rhythm when you get the blues
Come on, get a rhythm when
you get the blues
Well, a jumpin' rhythm
makes you feel so fine
It'll shake your troubles
from your worried mind
Get a rhythm,
when you get the blues
Well, I sat and listened
to the shoeshine boy
And I thought that I was
gonna jump with joy
He slapped on the shoe
polish left and right
Took a shoeshine rag and he held it tight
He stopped just once
to wipe the sweat away
He said, you might find more
to be a -workin' that way
He said, I like it with a big white grin
He kept on poppin'
and he'd say it again
Get a rhythm,
when you get the blues
Come on, get a rhythm
when you get the blues
It only cost a dime, just a nickel, a shoe
Does a million dollars
worth of good for you
Get a rhythm when you get the blues
A little shoeshine boy
never gets slowed down
But he's got the dirtiest job in town
Bending low over people's feet
On the windy corner of a dirty street
I asked him while he shined my shoes
How he kept from getting the blues
He grinned as he raised up his little head
He popped his shoeshine rag
And then he said,
get a rhythm when you get the blues.
Come on, get a rhythm when
you get the blues.
Instead of jumping rhythm
makes you feel so fine.
It'll shake all your troubles
from your worried mind.
Get a rhythm when you get the blues.
Well, I sat and listened to
the shoeshine boy,
and I thought that I was
going to jump with joy.
He slapped on the shoe
polish left and right,
took a shoe shine rag
and he held it tight
