I Got The Rhythm
By Bill Colgate

Word is all over town he took off and you're down
Blood in the sink and tears on your shoes
Why don't we think about what we can do
I got a radio but it don't play
I had a dog he ran away
Let's dust off them blue suede shoes
I got the rhythm if you got the blues

I got the rhythm, I got the rhythm
I got the rhythm if you got the blues
My toes are tapping my fingers snapping
I got the rhythm if you got the blues

Hi there sailor what you doing round here
Wrong side of town if you're looking for the pier
Can't be found if you ain't been lost
Can't pay the price if you don't know the cost
I got a stereo but it don't play I had a cat she ran away
Let's dust off them blue suede shoes
I got the rhythm if you got the blues

Used to think that I was in a rut
Used to think that that was bad
Now I know I'm just a rhythm nut
Love to lock it right in the pocket

What's the matter friend are you feeling kinda low
Hard to hold on when you can't let go
When you're thinking too much and you're losing your grip
Throw your hands in the air let your backbone slip
I had a car but the battery went dead
I wrote a song but it's gone from my head
Let's dust off them blue suede shoes
I got the rhythm if you got the blues
