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 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

What a mess you're making the neighbors want to know

Why I'm always shaking just like a fliver

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 gal I used to be

Fascinating rhythm oh won't you stop picking on me

Fascinating rhythm I'm all a-quiver

Why I'm always shaking just like a fliver

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'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 gal I used to be

Fascinating rhythm oh won't you stop picking on me
