I Got Rhythm: Days can be sunny, with never a sigh Don't need what money can buy Birds in the trees sing their day full of song Why shouldn't we sing along? I'm chipper all the day, happy with my lot How do I get that way? Look at what I've got I got rhythm, I got music I got my man Who could ask for anything more? I got daisies, in green pastures I got my man Who could ask for anything more? Old man trouble I don't mind him You won't find him 'round my door I got starlight I got sweet dreams I got my man Who could ask for anything more? Old man trouble I don't mind him You won't find him, 'round my door I got starlight I got sweet dreams I got my man Who could ask for anything more? I got rhythm, I got music I got daisies, in green pastures I got starlight I got sweet dreams I got my man Who could ask for anything more? Fascinating rhythm: 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 When 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 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 man I used to be! Fascinating rhythm On won't you stop picking on me?
