Lyrics

Fascinating rhythm You got me on the go Fascinating rhythm, I'm all a-quiver What a mess you're making The neighbours want to know Why I'm always shaking just like a flivver Each morning I get up with the sun Start a-hopping, never stopping To find at night no work has been done I know that once it didn't matter But now you're doing wrong When you start to patter I'm so unhappy Won't you take a day off? Decide to run along somewhere far away off And make it snappy Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be! Fascinating rhythm Oh won't you stop picking on me? I know that once it didn't matter But now you're doing wrong When you start to patter I'm so unhappy Won't you take a day off? Decide to run along somewhere far away off And make it snappy Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be! Fascinating rhythm, fascinating rhythm, fascinating rhythm Stop picking on me?
