I got a frown, you've got a frown
All God's chillun got a frown on their face
Take no chance with that frown
A song and a dance turn it upside down
Whoa, oh, oh, zazzle, zazzle

All God's chillun got rhythm
All God's chillun got swing
Maybe haven't got money
Maybe haven't got shoes
All God's chillun got rhythm
For to push away their blues

All God's chillun got trouble
Trouble don't mean a thing
When they start to go ho ho ho dee ho
All your troubles go away, say
All God's chillun got swing

All God's chillun got rhythm
[Scatting]
All God's chillun got rhythm
[Scatting]
Maybe haven't got money
Or maybe haven't got shoes
All God's chillun got rhythm
For to push, for to push
For to push away their blues
[Scatting]
Ho ho, blow blow, blow go away
Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey, got swing
[Instrumental]
