A read a story the other day Guaranteed to tell you How to shoo your blues away You gather up your troubles And all your bad news Then you go and get yourself A pair of dancing shoes [CHORUS] Then you rock (rock, rock) Yes, rock and cry Rock, rock, rock and cry Go on and ock, rock, rock and cry And you won't be crying long Just plant a smile Across your face Keep spreading joy All over the place You're finally catching And getting rid of the blues When others get a look At them dancing shoes [Repeat CHORUS] (Rock, rock) (Rock and cry) (Rock and cry) Start running wild Dance all night Go right ahead on And do the town up right Don't drown your troubles In those mean old blues Plant 'em in the soles Of those dancing shoes [Repeat CHORUS] No, you won't be crying long And you won't be crying long
