you how to shoo your blues away.

You gather up your troubles and all your bad news..
         F                             Bb
then you go and get yourself a pair of dancing shoes.


[Chorus]
Bb                               F
Then you rock (rock, rock)..yes, rock and cry..
            Bb

You'll find it's catching..getting rid of the blues..
     F                         Bb
when others get a look at them dancing shoes.
