Got a little rhythma rhythma 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
Somedayand speak up to it.
I hope it listens when I say:

Refrain:
Fascinating Rhythm
You ve got me on the go!
Fascinating Rhythm
I m all a-quiver.

When 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!

Ohhow I long to be the man I used to be!
Fascinating rhythm
On won t you stop picking on me?
