Lyrics

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'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 girl I used to be

Fascinating rhythm

Oh, won't you stop picking on me

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 girl I used to be

Fascinating rhythm

Won't you stop picking on me
