Get Rhythm
(Johnny Cash)

Hey, get rhythm, when you get the blues
Come on, get rhythm, when you get the blues
You got a rock & roll feeling in your bones
Put taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm, when you get the blues

The little shoe shine boy never gets low down
But he's got the dirtiest job in town
Bending low at the people's feet
On a windy corner of the dirty street
Well I asked him, while he shined my shoes
How he keeps from getting the blues
He grinned as he raised his little head
Popped a shoe shine rag and then he said

Get rhythm, when you get the blues
Come on, get rhythm, when you get the blues
A jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
It'll shake all the trouble from your worried mind
Get rhythm, when you get the blues

Well I sat and I listened to the shoe shine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump with joy
He slapped on the shoe polish left and right
Took the shoe shine rag and he held it tight
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
I said you're mighty little boy, to be working that way
He said I like it, with a big wide grin
Kept on a-popping and he said again

Get rhythm, when you get the blues
Come on, get rhythm, when you get the blues
It only costs a dime, just a nickel per shoe
But it does a million dollars worth of good to you
Get rhythm, when you get the blues
