Lyrics

Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm
That pitter-pats through my brain
So darn persistent, the day isn't distant
When it'll drive me insane
Comes in the morning without any warning
And hangs around me all day
I'll have to sneak up to it someday and speak up to it
I hope it listens when I say
Fascinating rhythm, you got me on the go
Fascinating rhythm, I'm all a-quiver
What a mess you're making, the neighbors 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
Fascinating rhythm, you got me on the go
Fascinating rhythm, I'm all a-quiver
What a mess you're making, the neighbors 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
Fascinating rhythm
Fascinating rhythm, I'm all a-quiver
What a mess you're making
Why I'm always shaking, just like a flivver
Start a-hopping, never stopping
Once it didn't matter
When you start to patter, I'm so unhappy
Won't you take a day off
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
Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm
That pitter-pats in my brain
So darn persistent, the day isn't distant
When it'll drive me insane
It's like a nation, a conglomeration
It isn't any one thing
Somehow you can't define it, and no one could define it
It's just the rhythm that's the same
