Fascinating Rhythm

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm That pit-apats through my brain So darn persistent the day isn't distant But 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 [Verse 2] Fascinating rhythm you've 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 [Chorus] 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 start a day off, decide to run along? Somewhere far away off and make it snappy [Post-Chorus] Oh, how I long to be the girl I used to be Fascinating rhythm Oh, won't you stop picking on me? [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] 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 start a day off, decide to run along? Somewhere far away off and make it snappy [Post-Chorus] Oh, how I long to be the girl I used to be Fascinating rhythm, fascinating rhythm Won't you stop picking on me?
