[Chorus 1]
E
Hey, get rhythm, when you get the blues,
A E
Come on, get rhythm, when you get the blues,
Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones,
Put taps on your toes and get gone,
A B7 E
Get rhythm when you get the blues.
[Verse 1]
E
A little shoe-shine boy never gets low down
But he's got the dirtiest job in town.
Bending low at the peoples feet
On the windy corner of a dirty street.
E
When I asked him while he shined my shoe
How'd he keep from getting the blues?
He grinned as he raised his little head,
He popped his shoe-shine rag and then he said:
[Chorus 2]
E
Get rhythm, when you get the blues,
A E
Come on, get rhythm, when you get the blues,
A jumpin' rhythm makes you feel so fine
It'll shake all your trouble from your worried mind,
A B7 E
Get rhythm, when you get the blues.
[Instrumental]

[Chorus 1]
E
Get rhythm, when you get the blues,
A E
Come on, get rhythm when you get the blues,
Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones,
Put taps on your toes and get gone,
A B7 E
Get rhythm when you get the blues.
[Verse 2]
E
Well I sat and I 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 and he held it tight.
E
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away,
I said "You mighty little boy to be a-working that way".
He said "I like it" with a big wide grin
Kept on a poppin' and he say it again:
[Chorus 3]
E
Get rhythm, when you get the blues,
A E
Come on, get rhythm, when you get the blues,
It only cost a dime, just a nickel a shoe,
It does a million dollars worth of good for you,
A B7 E
Get rhythm, when you get the blues.
