A shot of rhythm and blues

             D
Well if your hands start a clappin'

and your fingers start a'poppin'

and your feet start a movin' around.

           G7
And if you start to swing and sway

when the band starts to play
  D
a real cool way out sound.

           A7
And if you get to can't help it
        G7
and you can't sit down
    A7                         G7
you feel like you gotta move a round.

G7
You get a shot of rhythm and blues
                            D
with just a little rock and roll on the side

just for good measure.

G7
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
                             A7
well with your lover by your side

don't you know you're gonna have a rockin' time, c'mon!

          D                          G7
Don't you worry 'bout a thing if you start to dance and sing
    D
and chills comin' up on you
           G7
and if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too
     A7                          D
well here's something for you to do.

Get a shot of rhythm and blues ...

Get a pair of dancin' shoes ...

Don't you worry 'bout a thing ...
