verse 1
E
A little shoe shine boy he never gets low down
E
but he's got the dirtiest job in town
E
bending low at the peoples feet
E
on a windy corner of a dirty street
E
when i asked him while he shined my shoes
E
how to you keep from getting the blues
E
he grinned as he raised his little head
E
he popped he shoe shine rag and then he said
E
Get rhythm when you get the blues
A E
come on get rhythm when you get the blues
E
a jumpin rhythm makes you feel so fine
E
it will shake all the troubles off your worried mind
A B7 E
get rhythm when you get the blues

verse 2
E
Well i sat and listened to the shoe shine boy
E
and i thought i was gonna jump for joy
E
slapped on the shoe polish left and right
E
he took his shoe shine rag an he held it tight
E
he stopped once to wipe the sweat away
E
i said "you mighty little boy to be a-workin that way"
E
he said i like it with a big wide grin
E
kept on a poppin an he said it again
E
Get rhythm when you get the blues
A E
come on get rhythm when you get the blues
E
it only cost a dime just a nickle a shoe
E
it does a million dollars worth of good for you
A B7 E
get rhythm when you get the blues
