Get Rhythm (demo) Songtext
von Johnny Cash

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

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-poppin' and he said again

Get rhythm
When you get the blues
C′mon get rhythm
When you get the blues


It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe
It does a million dollars worth of good for you
Get rhythm
When you get the blues
