              D7                              D7  
Well, if your hands start a-clapping and your fingers start a-popping

         D7  
And your feet start a-moving around

           G7                               G7  
And if you start to swing and sway when the band start to play

  D7  
A real cool and way-out sound

           A7                              G7  
And if you get the Can't Help It, when you can't sit down

    A7                        G7  
You feel like you gotta move around
[Chorus]
    G7  
You get a shot of rhythm and blues

G7                           D7  
 With just a little rock and roll on the side

 D7  
Just for good measure

    G7  
You get a pair of dancing shoes

G7                             A7  
 Well, with your lover by your side

                            A7  
Don't you know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure?
[Verse]
          D7                            G7  
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, when you start to dance and sing

  D7  
And chill bumps come up on you

           G7                              G7  
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets her, too

      A7                          D7  
Well, here's the thing for you to do
[Chorus]
G7  
Get a shot of rhythm and blues

G7                           D7  
 With just a little rock and roll on the side

D7  
Just for good measure

    G7  
You get a pair of dancing shoes

G7                             A7  
 Well, with your lover by your side

                            A7  
Don't you know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure?

And chill bumps come up on you

           G7                              G7  
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets her, too
