Get Rhythm

I hope you folks are having a good time
It's great to be back in Scotland
Love you, I really love you, love your country
If you ever get the blues, a little shoeshine boy told me one time
He said, "Get rhythm"

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

A little shoeshine boy never gets low-down
Got the dirtiest job in town
Bending low at the people's 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
Granted, he raised his little hand
He popped a shoeshine rag and then he said

Get rhythm when you get the blues
Come on, 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
Get rhythm when you get the blues

Slide guitar now

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

Well, I sat there and listened to the shoeshine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump for joy
He 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
And said, "You're a mighty little boy to be working that way"
He said, "I like it" with a big wide grin
And he kept on a-popping and he said again

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

Yeah!
