Get rhythm!
A
When you get the blues!
D
Come on, get rhythm!
A
When you get the blues!
A
Get a rock and roll feeling in your bones
A
Put taps on your toes, and get goin'
D
Get rhythm!
E A
When you get the blues!
[Verse 1]
A
A little shoe-shine boy he never gets low-down
A
But he's got the dirtiest job in town!
A
Bending low at the peoples' feet
A
On a windy corner of a dirty street
A
Well, I asked him while he shined my shoes
A
How'd he keep from getting the blues
A
He grinned as he raised his little head
A
He popped a shoe-shine rag, and he said
[Chorus]
A
Get rhythm!
A
When you get the blues!
D
Come on, get rhythm!
A
When you get the blues!
A
A jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
A
It'll shake all your troubles from your worried mind
D
Get rhythm!
E A
When you get the blues!

[Verse 2]
A
Well, I had to listen to the shoe-shine boy
A
And I thought I was gonna jump for joy!
A
Slapped on the shoe polish left and right
A
He took a shoe-shine rag and he held it tight
A
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
A
I said, you're a mighty little boy to be a-workin' that way!
A
He said I like it, with a big wide grin
A
Kept on a-poppin' and he said again
[Out-Chorus]
A
Get rhythm!
A
When you get the blues!
D
Come on, get rhythm!
A
When you get the blues!
A
It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe
A
It does a million dollars worth of good for you
D
Get rhythm!
E A
When you get the blues!
D
Come on, get rhythm!
E A
When you get the blues!
