Irving Berlin
Shaking 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 up a Bible
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 shakе their bodies so
To and fro
With evеry 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

(Dance break)

[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
Shake 'em away
