Fitzgerald Ella 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?
