           A                       E
   Hey get rhythm when you get the blues
   Yes a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
   it'll shake all the trouble from your worried mind
       A           H7          E
   Get rhythm when you get the blues

1. 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 the dirty street
   well I asked him while he shined my shoes
   how'd he keep from gettin' the blues
   he grinned as he raised his little head
   popped a shoeshine rag and then he said

R1: Get rhythm when you get the blues
    Hey 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

2. Well I sat down to listen to the shoeshine boy
   and I thought I was gonna 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 workin' that way
   he said I like it with a big wide grin
   kept on a poppin' and he said again

R2: Get rhythm when you get the blues
    Hey get rhythm when you get the blues
    get a rock n roll feelin' in your bones
    get taps on your toes and get gone
    Get rhythm when you get the blues
