A read a story the other day
Guaranteed to tell you
How to shoo your blues away


You gather up your troubles
And all your bad news

Then you go and get yourself
A pair of dancing shoes


[CHORUS]
Then you rock (rock, rock)
Yes, rock and cry

Rock, rock, rock and cry
Go on and ock, rock, rock and cry
And you won't be crying long


Just plant a smile
Across your face

Keep spreading joy
All over the place


You're finally catching
And getting rid of the blues
When others get a look

At them dancing shoes

[Repeat CHORUS]


(Rock, rock)
(Rock and cry)

(Rock and cry)

Start running wild

Dance all night
Go right ahead on
And do the town up right


Don't drown your troubles
In those mean old blues

Plant 'em in the soles
Of those dancing shoes


[Repeat CHORUS]

No, you won't be crying long

And you won't be crying long
