Lyrics for Song: A Shot Of Rhythm and Blues
Lyrics for Album: Live at the BBC
Well, if your hands start a-clappin'
And your fingers start a-poppin'
And your feet start a-movin' around
And if you start to swing and sway
When the band starts to play
A real cool way out sound
And if you get to can't help it and you can't sit down
You feel like you gotta move around
You get a shot of rhythm and blues.
With just a little rock and roll on the side
Just for good measure.
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
Well, with your lover by your side
Don't you know you're gonna have a rockin' time, c'mon!
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
If you start to dance and sing
And chills come up on you
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too
Well, here's something for you to do
Get a shot of rhythm and blues
With just a little rock and roll on the side
Just for good measure
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
Well, with your lover by your side
Don't you know you're gonna have a rockin' time, c'mon!
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
If you start to dance and sing
And chills come up on you
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too
Well, here's something for you to do
Get a shot of rhythm and blues
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
Get a shot of rhythm and blues
Well, with your lover by your side
Don't you know you're gonna have a rockin' time, c'mon!
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
If you start to dance and sing
And chills come up on you
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too
Well, here's something for you to do
Well, here's something for you to do
Well, here's something for you to do

A Shot Of Rhythm and Blues
Recorded live at the BBC in 1963, this track stands as a vibrant example of the Beatles' early engagement with American rhythm and blues. The performance captures the band's energetic stage presence and their ability to blend rock energy with the soulful grooves that defined the era. Featured on the Live at the BBC compilation, the recording showcases John Lennon's distinctive vocal delivery and the group's tight, driving instrumentation. It reflects the musical influences that shaped their sound during their formative years, offering a glimpse into their dynamic live performances before their studio work became increasingly complex. The song remains a testament to the raw energy and improvisational spirit that characterized their early television and radio appearances. |
