^EGET RHYTHM when you get the blues Hey get ^A rhythm when you get the ^E blues it only costs a dime just a nickel a shoe does a million dollars worth of good for you Get ^A rhythm when ^B7 you get the ^E blues

E 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

^EGET RHYTHM when you get the blues Hey get ^A rhythm when you get the ^E blues get a rock n roll feelin' in your bones get taps on your toes and get gone Get ^A rhythm when ^B7 you get the ^E blues
