Ella Fitzgerald Fascinating Rhythm Lyrics

Fascinating Rhythm Lyrics

Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a 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
Someday, and 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!

Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be!
Fascinating rhythm,
On won`t you stop picking on me?
