Got a little rhythm, a rhythm a rhythm
That pit-a-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
Someday I'll sneak up to it, some day I`ll speak up to it
And hope it listens when I say...

~~~~♫♫♫~~~~
Fascinating Rhythm,
You've 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,
You gotta stop picking on me.
