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 starts to play

A real cool way out sound



And if you get to can't help it

And you can't sit down

You feel like you gotta move a round



You 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 about a thing if you start to dance and sing

And chills coming up on you

And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too

Well, here's something 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 about a thing if you start to dance and sing

And chills coming up on you

And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too

Well, here's something 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 about a thing if you start to dance and sing

And chills coming up on you

And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too

Well, here's something for you to do

Well, here's something for you to do

Well, here's something for you to do
