| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |
| E | |
| GET RHYTHM when you get the blues |
| A | E | |
| 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 |
| A | B7 | E | |
| Get | rhythm when | you get the | blues |
