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
