Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm

That pitter-patters 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



Fascinatin' rhythm, you've got me on the go

Fascinatin' 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 flivver

Each morning I get up with the sun

Start a-hopping, never stopping

To find, that 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 me

Fascinatin' rhythm, oh, won't you stop picking on me?
