A Shot of Rhythm and Blues - Arthur Alexander

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
