Here's the thing for you to do
And your fingers start a poppin'
Here's the thing for you to do
Need a shot of rhythm and blues, oh
Feel like you wanna move 'round an 'round
And the band begins to play
You start to dance and sing
I need a shot
When the beat gets you too, now
With your lover by your side
With your lover by your side
Oh, the rhythm finally gets you
Hey, now, now, now
With that real cool way out sound
When your feet wanna move around
Need a shot of rhythm and blues, oh Lord
Need a pair of dancin' shoes
When the beat gets you too, now
Hey, now, now, now
And you can't sit down
Just for good measure
Yeah, you start to swing and sway
With a real cool way out sound
Hey, now, now, now, get it
Then the chill bumps come up on you
Don't you know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure
And you can't sit down
Well, the beat'll finally get you
Then you'll get the 'Can't help-it's'
Just for good measure
You start to dance and sing
Need a pair of dancin' shoes
Need a shot of rhythm and blues
With just a little rock n' roll on the side
Don't you know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure
Need a shot of rhythm and blues
Need a shot of rhythm and blues
You get the 'Can't help it's"
Hey, now, now, now
Need a shot of rhythm and blues
Well, just a little rock n' roll on the side
Don't you worry about a thing
Need a pair of dancin' shoes
And the band begins to play
Well, the rhythm finally gets you
Need a shot of rhythm and blues
When your feet wanna move around
Don't you worry about a thing
With just a little rock n' roll on the side
Oh, when your hands start a clappin'
And you'll start to swing and sway
Don't you know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure
Need a shot of rhythm and blues
Need a shot of rhythm and blues, that's right
And the chill bumps come up on you
Need a shot of rhythm and blues
Hey, now, now, now
Feel like ya wanna move 'round an 'round
When the beat gets you, too and
Here's the thing for you to do
And the chill bumps come up on you
Don't you worry about a thing
You start to dance and sing
With your lover by your side
Just for good measure
