Get rhythm when you get the blues
C'mon, get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones
Put taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues

A 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 a dirty street
Well, I asked him while he shined my shoes
How'd he keep from gettin' the blues
He grinned and raised his little head
He popped his shoeshine rag & then he said:

To get rhythm when you get the blues
C'mon, get rhythm when you get the blues
Yes, a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
It'll shake all the troubles from your worried mind
Get rhythm when you get the blues

Well, I sat down & listened to the shoeshine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump for joy
He slapped on the shoe polish left & right
He took his shoeshine rag & he held it tight
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
I said, "you're a mighty little boy to be a-workin' that way."
He said, "I like it!" with a big wide grin
He kept on a poppin' & he said it again:

Get rhythm when you get the blues
C'mon, get rhythm when you get the blues
It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe
It does a million dollars worth of good for you
You get rhythm, yes, when you get the blues
