Hey get rhythm when you get the blues
AE
come on get rhythm when you get the blues
get a rock 'n' roll feelin in your bones
put taps on your toes an get gone
AB7E
get rhythm when you get the blues
EA little shoe shine boy he never gets low down
but he's got the dirtiest job in town
bending low at the peoples feet
on a windy corner of a dirty street
when i asked him while he shined my shoes
how to you keep from getting the blues
he grinned as he raised his little head
he popped he shoe shine rag and then he said
E
Get rhythm when you get the blues
AE
come on get rhythm when you get the blues
a jumpin rhythm makes you feel so fine
it will shake all the troubles off your worried mind
AB7E
get rhythm when you get the blues
Instrumental: EEEEAAAAEEEEAAB7EEE
Get rhythm when you get the blues
AE
come on get rhythm when you get the blues
get a rock 'n' roll feelin in your bones
put taps on your toes an get gone
AB7E
get rhythm when you get the blues

Well i sat and listened to the shoe shine boy
and i thought i was gonna jump for joy
slapped on the shoe polish left and right
he took his shoe shine rag an he held it tight
he stopped once to wipe the sweat away
i said "you mighty little boy to be a-workin that way"
he said i like it with a big wide grin
kept on a poppin an he said it again
E
Get rhythm when you get the blues
AE
come on get rhythm when you get the blues
it only cost a dime just a nickle a shoe
it does a million dollars worth of good for you
AB7E
get rhythm when you get the blues
