Got a little rhythm, a rhythm a rhythm That pitter 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 all day I have to sneak up to it, some day I'll speak up to it And 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 neighbours want to know
Why I'm always shaking Just like my grandmother Each morning I get up with the sun To find at night no work has been done... I know that once it didn't matter But now you 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 Why don't you stop picking on me
