A Shot Of Rhythm And Blues

(album: Subtle As A Flying Mallet - 1975)

A-when your hands start clapping
And your fingers start snapping
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

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 dancing 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

Need a shot of rhythm and blues
Get a pair of dancing shoes
Need a shot of rhythm and blues
Get a pair of dancing shoes

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 dancing 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

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 dancing 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...
