Get Rhythm - NRBQ

Hey, get rhythm

When you get the blues

Come on, get rhythm

When you get the blues

Get a rock-and-roll feelin' down in your bones

Put taps on your toes and then get gone

Get rhythm

When you get the blues

A little shoeshine boy, he never gets low down

He’s got the dirtiest job in town

Bendin' low at the peoples' feet

On a windy corner on a dirty street

When I asked him how to shine my shoe

How do you keep from a-gettin' the blues?

He grinned as he raised his little head

He slapped a shoeshine rag and then he said

Get rhythm

When you get the blues

Come on, get rhythm

When you get the blues

Well, a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine

It’ll shake all your trouble from your worried mind

Get rhythm

When you get the blues, yeah

Well, I sat down and listened to the shoeshine boy

And I thought I was goin' to jump for joy

Slapped on the shoe polish left and right

He gripped his rag as he held it tight

He stopped just-a 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 great big grin

He kept on poppin', and he said again

Get rhythm

When you get the blues

Come on, get rhythm

When you get the blues

It only costs a dime, it’s just a nickel a shoe

It does a million dollars worth of good for you

Get rhythm

When you get the blues

Come on, get rhythm

When you get the blues, yeah
