Get rhythm when
you get the blues
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones
Get taps on your toes and just get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Little shoeshine
boy never gets low down
But he's got the dirtiest job in town
Bendin' low at the peoples' feet
On the windy corner of the dirty street
Well, I asked him while he shined my shoes
How'd he keep from gettin' the blues
He grinned as he shook his little head
Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said
Get rhythm when
you get the blues
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe
Does a million dollars worth of good for you
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Well, I started
to listen to the shoeshine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump for joy
Slapped on the shoe polish left and right
He took a shoeshine rag and he held it tight
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
I said you're a mighty little boy to be a-workin' that way
He said "I like it", with a big wide grin
And he kept on poppin' and he said again
Hey, get rhythm
when you get the blues
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Yes a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
It shakes all the trouble from your worried mind
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones
Get taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues
GOING
BACK TO OKINAWA
(Ry Cooder)
Goin' back down
to Okinawa
Sorry, baby, but I can't take you
You better stay at home in California
There's nothing over there that you can do
Goin' back down
to Okinawa
Ain't gonna do me like you've done before
They treat me like a king down in Okinawa
And I may never come back no more
It's just an
island floating in the sun
Everybody is having so much fun
Pretty mamas laying in the sand
Sure to know how to treat your man
Okinawian baby,
won't you come by me ?
Sun going down in the China Sea
Making love on the beach all night
Okinawa moon is shining so bright
Folks in Okinawa
sure have fun
They get together when the working day is done
Drinking cheap wine. and making romance
While some old man's doing the Okina dance
Back in the
days of World War II
Fought against the Japanese like me and you
Everybody's worried 'bout World War III
Okinawa's just the place where I'm gonna be
Going back to
Okinawa
Sorry, but I can't take you
Never coming back no more, baby

WOMEN
WILL RULE THE WORLD
(Raymond Quevedo)
How different
the ladies of long ago to the modern women that we all know
If you observe you are bound to see that sex has changed entirely
A long ago their one ambition in life, was to be a mother and a wife
Now they go out imitating the males by smoking cigarettes and drinking cocktails
Girls used to
like to be school teachers, gradually becoming stenographers
We next hear of them as lecturers, authors and engineers
There is no limit to their ambition, they've even gone in for aviation
And if you men don't assert control your women will rule the world
Play a bridge!
Now they say
anything that your man can do, they also can achieve too
And they've openly boasted to do their part in the literature and art
We will next hear of them as candidates for the president of these United
States
And if you men don't assert control your women will rule the world
Now you hear
on the radio and TV of a great national calamity
Story of tragic proportion coming from the White House in Washington
The facts in the case are clearly stated the president is being cruely dominated
By a international conspiracy that threatens world peace and security
ALL
SHOOK UP
(Otis Blackwell/Elvis Presley)
(D) - (G) - (A)
Yeah! Oh!
(D) Well, bless my soul, what's wrong with me ?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
The friends say I'm acting wild as a bug
I'm in love, I'm (G) all shook (A) up
(G) I'm, (A) I'm, (D) I'm,
(G) I'm, (A) I'm, (D) I'm, oh Lord
Yeah yeah yeah
My hands are
shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck ?
I'm in love, I'm all shook up
Well, please
don't ask me what's on my mind
A little mixed up, but I'm feeling fine
I'm near the girl I love the best
My heart beats so it scares me to...
She touched
my hand and what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano when that's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love and I'm all messed up
I'm, I'm, I'm...
Lawdy, Lawdy
I'm, I'm, I'm...
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My tongue gets
tied when I try to speak
My inside's shaking like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
And that's to have that girl right here right now
She touched
my hand and what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano when that's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love and I'm all shook up
I
CAN TELL BY THE WAY YOU SMELL
(Walter Davis)
Hey, look here
baby, what's going on ?
Step over in the light
Oh, no! Look here.
Your hair is
all wrecked, you're full of sweat
Your underskirt is wringing wet
You come in here walking just like a goose
It looks like somebody just tranked you to loose
You've been doing something
You've been doing something wrong
You've been doing something
You've been doing something wrong
I can tell by the way you smell
And there's
grandma and grandpa out on the porches
Must be kidding 'bout her ninety years
Ain't too old, God almighty, just keep shifting them gears
Well, you ain't too old, said you ain't too old
Ain't too old, doing the boogie, you ain't too old
I can tell by the way they smell
Well, it's a-run
here mama! Just look at little sis'
Got her hand in her toodle, way up to her wrist
She's doing something wrong, she's doing something wrong
She's doing something wrong, God knows she's doing it
I can tell by the way she smell
Go on and change your clothes!
ACROSS
THE BORDERLINE
(Ry Cooder/John Hiatt/James Dickinson)
(C) - (F)
- (G) - (Am)
Capo on 2
Intro: C G F Am
(C) There's a place where I've been told
(F) Every street is paved with (C) gold
And it's (C) just across the border (G) line
(C) And when it's time to take your turn
(F) Here's one lesson that you must learn
You could (C) lose more than you'll (G) ever hope to (C)
find
(C) When
you (F) reach the broken (G) promised land
(F) And every dream slips (C) through your hands
Then you'll know that it's too late to change your (G) mind
(C) 'Cause you've (F) paid the price to (G) come so far
(F) Just to wind up (C) where you are
And you're still just a (G) cross the border (C) line
Up and down
the Rio Grande
A thousand footprints in the sand
Reveal a secret no one can define
The river flows on like a breath
In between our life and death
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline
(C) En
la triste os (G) curi (C) dad (In the sad darkness)
hoy tenemos (F) que cruzar (today we have to cross)
(C) este río que nos (G) llama más (C) allá
(this river which calls us further away)
(C) But
hope remains when (G) pride is (C) gone
And it keeps you (F) moving on
(C) Calling you a (G) cross the border (C) line
When you reach
the broken promised land
Every dream slips through your hands
And you'll know it's too late to change your mind
'Cause you pay the price to come so far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline
Now you're still just across the borderline
And you're still just across the borderline
