| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
