Lyrics

[00:20.05] Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm
[00:24.55] That pit-a-pats through my brain
[00:26.55]
[00:28.42] So darn persistent,
[00:29.35]
[00:29.97] The day isnt distant
[00:31.35]
[00:32.54] When itll drive me insane.
[00:34.16]
[00:36.78] Comes in the morning
[00:38.21] Without any warning
[00:39.40]
[00:40.83] And hangs around me all day.
[00:43.21]
[00:45.07] Ill have to sneak up to it
[00:47.26] Someday, and speak up to it.
[00:49.45] I hope it listens when I say
[00:51.63]
[00:53.37] Fascinating rhythm
[00:54.38]
[00:55.12] Youve got me on the go!
[00:57.05] Fascinating rhythm,
[00:57.80]
[00:58.81] Im all a-quiver.
[00:59.86]
[01:01.68] When a mess youre making!
[01:03.61] The neighbours want to know
[01:05.42] Why Im always shaking
[01:06.60]
[01:07.17] Just like a flivver.
[01:08.29]
[01:10.60] Each morning I get up with the sun
[01:14.28]
[01:16.28] Start a-hopping,
[01:17.52] Never stopping
[01:18.15]
[01:19.02] To find at night no work has been done.
[01:22.83]
[01:25.27] I know that
[01:27.20] Once it didnt matter
[01:28.94] But now youre doing wrong
[01:30.94] When you start to patter
[01:32.06]
[01:32.63] Im so unhappy.
[01:34.12]
[01:35.68] Wont you take a day off?
[01:37.62] Decide to run along
[01:38.93]
[01:39.55] Somewhere far away off
[01:41.24] And make it snappy!
[01:42.49]
[01:44.73] Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be!
[01:50.47]
[01:52.65] Fascinating rhythm,
[01:53.72] On wont you stop picking on me?
