Yes, a jumpy rhythm makes
Shaking all the trouble from
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Little shoeshine boy never
but he's got the dirtiest job in town
Bending low at the people's feet,
on the windy corner of the dirty street
how'd he keep from getting the blues
He green as he raises a little hat,
purple shoeshine rag in a thin sand
Get rhythm, when you get the blues,
hey get rhythm, when you get the blues
There's a million dollars
Get the rhythm, when you get the blues
Well I sat down to listen to the shoeshine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump for joy
Slept on the shoe polish left and right
He took a shoeshine rag and I held it tight
He stopped at once to wipe the sweat away
I said you might a little boy
He said I like it with a bit white green
Kept on poppin' and he said again
Get the rhythm, when you get the blues
Got a rock 'n 'roll feelin' in your bones
Little sunshine boy never gets low down
But he's got the dirtiest job in town
Bending low at the people's feet
On the windy corner of the dirty street
How'd it keep from getting
He greened as he raised his little hat
Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said
It only cost a dime, just a nickel, a shoe
