Rhythm of Life

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Daddy started out in San Francisco Tootin' on his trumpet loud and mean Suddenly a voice said, "Go forth, Daddy Spread the picture on a wider screen" And the voice said, "Daddy, there's a million pigeons Ready to be hooked on new religions Hit the road, Daddy, leave your commonlaw wife Spread the religion of the rhythm of life" [Chorus] And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet Rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm in the street Yes, the rhythm of life is a powerful beat [Bridge] To feel the rhythm of life To feel the powerful beat To feel the tingle in your fingers To feel the tingle in your feet And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet Rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm in the street Yes, the rhythm of life is a powerful beat [Verse 2] Daddy spread the gospel in Milwaukee Took his walkie-talkie to Rocky Ridge Blew his way to Canton then to Scranton 'Til he landed under the Manhattan Bridge Daddy was the new sensation Got himself a congregation Built up quite an operation down below With the pie-eyed piper blowing While the muscatel was flowing All the cats were go, go, going down below Daddy was the new sensation Got himself a congregation Built up quite an operation down below With the pie-eyed piper blowing While the muscatel was flowing All the cats were go, go, going down below [Bridge] Flip your wings and fly to Daddy Flip your wings and fly to Daddy Flip your wings and fly to Daddy Fly, fly, fly to Daddy Take a dive and swim to Daddy Take a dive and swim to Daddy Take a dive and swim to Daddy Swim, swim, swim to Daddy Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy Crawl, crawl, crawl to Daddy [Harmonizing] [Scatting] [Chorus] And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet Rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm in the street Yes, the rhythm of life is a powerful beat [Outro] To feel the rhythm of life To feel the powerful beat To feel the tingle in your fingers To feel the tingle in your feet Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh To feel the rhythm of life To feel the powerful beat To feel the tingle in your fingers To feel the tingle in your feet Flip your wings and fly to your Daddy Take a dive and swim to your Daddy Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy Daddy, we got the rhythm of life Of life, of life, of life Yeah (Yeah), let me hear it (Yeah) Sock it to me (Yeah), let it all hang out
