Put some rhythm in your blues
Gotta make a better man out of you
Put some rhythm in your blues

Wear a hole in the sole of your shoes

We all must learn to live with sadness

That's just the other side of happiness
And so I guess


Put some rhythm in your blues
Get some pleasure from your dues
Put some rhythm in your blues

Wear a hole in the sole of your shoes

We seem to spend our time with little things

The little things, the little things
Sometimes it's hard to deal with everything
And so I sing


No man should live for bread alone
You can't spend all your time

Wheeling and dealing on the telephone

Put some rhythm in your blues

Get some pleasure from those dues
Put some rhythm in your blues
Wear a hole in the sole of your shoes


Put some rhythm in your blues
