Fascinating Rythm

Say, there's a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm

That pitter-pats through my brain

So darn persistent, the day isn't distant

When it will drive me insane

Comes in the mornin', without any warnin'

And hangs around me all day

I'll have to think up to it, someday I'll speak up to it

I hope it listens when I say

Fascinatin' rhythm, you got me on the go

Fascinatin' rhythm, I'm all a-quiver

What a mess you're makin', the neighbors wanna know

Why I'm always shakin', just like a flivver

Each morning I get up with the sun

Start a-hoppin', never stoppin'

To find at night no work has been done

I know that once it didn't matter, but now you're doin' 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

Fascinatin' rhythm, you gotta stop pickin' on me

Fascinatin' rhythm, you got me on the go

Fascinatin' rhythm, I'm all a-quiver

What a mess you're makin', the neighbors wanna know

Why I'm always shakin', just like a flivver

Each morning I get up with the sun

Start a-hoppin', never stoppin'

To find at night no work has been done

I know that once it didn't matter, but now you're doin' 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

Fascinatin' rhythm, you gotta stop pickin' on me
