Irving Berlin
Shakin’ the Blues Away
[NADINE]
There's an old superstition
Way down south
Everybody believes
That trouble won't stay
If you shake it away
When they hold a revival
Way down south
Everybody with care
And trouble that dare
Tries to shake it all away
Shakin' the blues away
Unhappy news away
If you are blue
It's easy to
Shake off your cares and troubles
Tellin' the blues to go
They may refuse to go
But, as a rule
They'll go if you'll
Shake 'em away
Do like the voodoos do
Listenin' to
A voodoo melody
They shake their bodies so
To and fro
With every shake
A lucky break
Provin' that there's a way
To chase your cares away
If you would lose
Your weary blues
Shake 'em away
Shake 'em away
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
*Tapping*
[SINGERS]
Shakin' the blues away
Unhappy news away
If you are blue
It's easy to
Shake off your, shake off your cares and shake off your trouble
Provin' that there's a way
To chase your cares away
If you would lose
Your weary blues
Shake 'em away
Shake 'em away
Away
Ah, ah
Shake 'em away
