Fascinating Rhythm

Lyrics

[JEFF] 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 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? [DICK & SUSIE] Fascinating rhythm You got me on the go Fascinating rhythm I'm all a-quiver [JEFF] What a mess you're making The neighbors want to know Why I'm always shaking Just like a flivver [DICK & SUSIE] Each morning I get up with the sun [JEFF] Start a-hopping Never stopping [DICK & SUSIE] To find at night no work has been done [JEFF] I know that Once it didn't matter But now you're doing wrong When you start to patter I'm so unhappy [DICK & SUSIE] Won't you take a day off? Decide to run along Somewhere far away off And make it snappy [JEFF] Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be [JEFF & SUSIE] Fascinating rhythm [JEFF, DICK & SUSIE] Oh, won't you stop picking on me? [ENSEMBLE] 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 [DICK & SUSIE] Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be [DICK, SUSIE & ENSEMBLE] Fascinating rhythm Oh, won't you stop picking on me? [Dance.] [ENSEMBLE] 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 It's like a nation Of [?] It isn't any one thing Somehow we've got to find it I know we'll have to find it It's just a rhythm that you sing
