Shot of rhythm n' blues

A-when your hands start a-clappin'

And your fingers start a-poppin'

When your feet wanna move around

And ya start to swing and sway

And the band begins to play

With a real cool way out sound

Then ya get the "can't help-it's"

And ya can't sit down

Feel like ya wanna move 'round an 'round

Need a shot of rhythm and blues

With just a little rock n' roll on the side

Just for good measure

Need a pair of dancin' shoes

With your lover by your side

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

Don't you worry about a thing

You start to dance and sing

And the chill bumps come up on you

Well, the beat'll finally get you

When the beat gets you, too and

Here's the thing for you to do
