Terry Thompson)



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



Hey, now, now, now



Need a shot of rhythm and blues

Well, 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 ya know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure



Don't ya worry about a thing

Ya start to dance and sing

Then the chill bumps come up on you



Well, the rhythm finally gets you

When the beat get you too, now

Here's the thing for you to do



Hey, now, now, now



Hey, now, now, now



Oh when, your hands start a clappin'

And your fingers start poppin'

When your feet wanna move around



Yeah, you start to swing and sway

And the band begins to play

With that real cool way out sound



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 ya know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure



Don't you worry about a thing

Ya start to dance and sing

And the chill bumps come up on you



Oh, the rhythm finally get you

When the beat get you too, now

Here's the thing for you to do



Hey, now, now, now (get it)



Hey, now, now, now



Need a shot of rhythm and blues



Need a shot of rhythm and blues



Need a shot of rhythm and blues



Need a shot of rhythm and blues

(I need a shot)



Need a shot of rhythm and blues

(Oh Lord)



Need a shot of rhythm and blues

(Oooh)



Need a shot of rhythm and blues

(That's right)



Need a shot of rhythm and blues
