[F] And you get blue.
[Dm] [C]
[F] Get a rock and roll.
Tap on your toes and just [Dm] get going.
Get a rhythm.
[Gm] And [F] you get blue.
Let a shoe shine more than a whistle blow down.
He's got a dirtier job.
Bend low.
He knows what the people speak.
On the window corner [Bb] of the dirtiest street.
[F] When I asked him why he shines his shoes.
How'd he keep [Bb] from getting [F] the blues.
The granddaddy shook his little head.
He bought the shoe shine dragon and he said.
Get a rhythm.
When you get the blues.
[Dm] Get a rhythm.
[Bb] When [C] you [F] get the blues.
Get a rock and roll.
Get [Bb] it in your [F] bum.
Tap on your toes and just get [Dm] going.
Get a rhythm.

Tap on your toes and just [Dm] get going.
Get a rhythm.
[Gm] When [C] you get [F] the blues.
Well I stopped to get a shoe shine more.
I thought I was gonna jump.
He's got a fat boner, shoe polish, heavy break, bad boy,
he's got a [Bb] raggedy head, [F] he's a good pack.
He's got one of those white with sweater ways,
you're a mighty little boy if you're working that way.
He said, I like him with a big white grin,
and he kept [E] on hoppin' to the set.
[F] He said, get a rhythm, get a rhythm, get a rhythm,
get a [Dm] rhythm, [Bb] when you get [F]
loose.
Well, a chump can get you to make you feel so fine,
he's always trouble when you're worried [Dm] about it.
Get a rhythm, when [C] you [F] get loose.
Get a rhythm, when you get loose.
Get a rhythm, when you get loose.
Get a rock and roll, get a big old ball,
got all the tools, get [Dm] it going.
Get a rhythm, let it get [Bb] rhythm, [C] when you [F] get loose.
