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 [C7]sneak up to [C7]it
Someday, and [Bm]speak up to [C7]it.
I hope it listens when I say:
Fascinating Rhythm,
You've got [Fm7]me on [C7]the go!
Fascinating Rhythm,
I'm all [Em]a-quiver.
When a mess you're making!
The neighbours want to [C7]know
Why I'm always shaking
Just like [F]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 [A7start to [C7]patter
I'm so unhappy.
Won't you [A7take a day off?
Decide to [C7]ɾun along [Am]
Somewhere far away off
And make it snappy!
Oh, how I long [Am]to [C7]be [Am]the man I used to [C7]be!
Fascinating ɾhythm,
Oh won't you [A7stop picking on [C7]me?
