I've got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm that pitter-pats through my brain So darn persistent the day isn't distant when it will drive me insane Comes in the morning without any warning and hangs around 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 got me on the go Fascinating Rhythm What a mess you're making, the neighbours want to know Why I'm always shaking just like a flipper Each morning I wake up with the sun Start 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 man I used to be Fascinating Rhythm, oh won't you stop picking on me Yes, Fascinating Rhythm, you got me on the go Fascinating Rhythm, I'm all a quiver What a mess you're making, the neighbours want to know Why I'm always shaking like a flipper Each morning, each morning I wake up with the sun To find, 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, run along Go in the country and make it snappy Oh how I long to be the man I used to be Fascinating Rhythm, Fascinating Rhythm Fascinating Rhythm, oh won't you stop picking on me
