I could learn my ABC's
Bring home A's instead of D's
And my Ma and Dad I'd please
If I had rhythm in my nursery rhymes
In the corner on a stool
I'd sit 'cause I broke a rule
But I'd show them that I'm no fool
If I had rhythm in my nursery rhymes
Lately I've been thinkin'
If I had a little bit of rhythm
I'd could be a Washington or a Lincoln
Simple Simon at the fair
Met a Pieman who was there
About those two guys I don't care
'Cause I need rhythm in my nursery rhymes
