Lyrics:

Hey, get rhythm!
When you get the blues!
C'mon get rhythm!
When you get the blues!
Get a rock and roll feeling in your bones
Put taps on your toes, and get goin'
Get rhythm!
When you get the blues!
A little shoe-shine boy he never gets low-down
But he's got the dirtiest job in town!
Bending low at the peoples' feet
On a windy corner of a dirty street
Well, I asked him while she shined my shoes
How'd he keep from getting the blues
He grinned as he raised his little head
He popped a shoe-shine rag, and he said
Get rhythm!
When you get the blues!
C'mon get rhythm!
When you get the blues!
A jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
It'll shake all your troubles from your worried mind
Get rhythm!
When you get the blues!

Well, I had to listen to the shoe-shine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump for joy!
Slapped on the shoe polish left and right
He took a shoe-shine 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-workin' and he said again
Get rhythm!
When you get the blues!
C'mon get rhythm!
When you get the blues!
A jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
It'll shake all your troubles from your worried mind
Get rhythm!
When you get the blues!
