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 just get gone 
Get rhythm when you get the blues 

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 shook his little head 
Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said 

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 

Well, I started 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
