Cash Johnny – Get Rhythm

 G  
Hey get rhythm when you get the blues 
         C                         G  
Hey get rhythm when you get the blues 
Yes a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine 
It'll shake all the trouble from your worried mind 
     C             D7            G  
Get rhythm when you get the blues 
  
 G  
Little shoeshine boy never gets low down 
But he's got the dirtiest job in town 
BEnding low at the peoples' feet 
On the windy corner of the dirty street 
Well I asked him while he shined my shoes 
How'd he keep from getting the blues 
He grinned as he raised his little head 
Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said 
  
 G  
Get rhythm when you get the blues 
         C                         G  
Hey get rhythm when you get the blues 
It only costs a dime just a nickel a shoe 
Does a million dollars worth of good for you 
     C             D7            G  
Get rhythm when you get the blues 
  
 G  
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-working that way 
He said I like it with a big wide grin 
Kept on a popping and he said again 
  
 G  
Get rhythm when you get the blues 
         C                         G  
Hey get rhythm when you get the blues 
Get a rock n roll feeling in your bones 
Get taps on your toes and get gone 
     C             D7            G  
Get rhythm when you get the blues
