Lyrics
If you're lost and downhearted
And you don't know what to do
An' this messed up world has finally got to you
Well I hear what you're sayin'
'Cause I feel the same way too
Just don't believe there's nuthin' you can do
To find a way to ease your worried mind
Just take my hand and start to leave our troubles all behind
'Cause you've done a mess of cryin'
But now cryin' time is through
So let's show this messed up world a thing or two...an' put on those...
Jazz, blues & dancin' shoes
An' show us your own style
Forget that sad news just feel the groove
If only for a while
So get up an' spread the news
C'mon babe you got nuthin' to lose
'Cept for jazz blues & dancin'...
Jazz blues & dancin' shoes
We'll dance for all who never got the chance
To laugh and love and find the magic locked in rhythm's trance
'Cause we all get tired of tryin'
And tryin' times are never through
So before the time to try again comes due...put on those
Jazz, blues & dancin' shoes
An' make us feel real fine
Forget that bad news and get into
A lighter frame of mind
So get up an' spread the news
C'mon babe you got nuthin' to lose
'Cept for jazz, blues & dancin'...
Jazz, blues & dancin' shoes (3x's)
'Cept for jazz...and blues... & dancin' shoes!
