Lets have a little bit of rhythm And a little bit of blues now And now the swinging bass guitar one time And now you got cold ryhthm and blues Well, if your hands start a-clapping and your fingers start a-popping And your feet start a-moving around And if you start to swing and sway when the band start to play A real cool and way-out sound And if you get the Can't Help It, when you can't sit down You feel like you gotta move around You get a shot of rhythm and blues With just a little rock and roll on the side Just for good measure You get a pair of dancing shoes Well, with your lover by your side Don't you know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure? Don't you worry 'bout a thing, when you start to dance and sing Until bumps come up on you And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets her, too Well, here's the thing for you to do Get a shot of rhythm and blues With just a little rock and roll on the side Just for good measure Get a pair of dancing shoes Well, with your lover by your side Don't you know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure? Don't you worry 'bout a thing, when you start to dance and sing Until bumps come up on you And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets her, too Well, here's the thing for you to do Get a shot of rhythm and blues Get a pair of dancing shoes Get a shot of rhythm and blues Well, with your lover by your side Don't you know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure? Don't you worry 'bout a thing, when you start to dance and sing Until bumps come up on you And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets her, too Well, here's the thing for you to do Well, here's the thing for you to do Well, here's the thing for you to do
