A-when your hands start clappin'
and your fingers start snappin'
and your feet start moving around
when ya start to swing and sway
and the band starts to play
with a real cool way out sound
Then ya get the «can't help-it's»
and ya can’t sit down
ya feel like ya gotta move around
Chorus:
Need a shot of rhythm and blues
with just a little rock n' roll on the side
just for good measure
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
with your lover by your side
don’t you know you’re gonna get a lot of pleasure
Don’t you worry about a thing,
when you start to dance and sing
the chill bumps come up on you
When the rhythm fin’lly hits you,
when the beat gets you too
here’s the thing for you to do Chorus:
Need a shot of rhythm and blues
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
(Sax solo)
Need a shot of rhythm and blues
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
(Harp solo)
Get a shot of rhythm and blues
with just a little rock n' roll on the side
just for good measure
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
with your lover by your side
don’t ya know you’re gonna get a lot of pleasure
Don’t ya worry about a thing,
when ya start to dance and sing,
the chill bumps come up on you
When the rhythm fin’lly hits you,
when the beat gets you too,
here’s the thing for you to do Chorus:
Need a shot of rhythm and blues
with just a little rock n' roll on the side
just for good measure
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
with your lover by your side
don’t you know you’re gonna get a lot of pleasure
Don’t ya worry about a thing,
when ya start to dance and sing,
the chill bumps come up on you
and when the rhythm fin’lly hits you,
when the beat gets you too,
here’s the thing for you to do
