Fascinating
rhythm, you 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
matter I'm so unhappy
Won't you take a day off,
de cide to run along
somewhere far away off
and make it snappy
Oh, how I long to be the girl I
used to be
Fascinating rhythm,
won't you stop picking on me?
Got a little rhythm, a rhythm,
a rhythm
that could pass through my brain
So darn persistent the day
isn't distant
that it'll drive me insane
Comes in the morning
without any warning
and hangs around all day
I'll have to sneak up to it,
survey and speak up to it
I hope it listens when I say
Fascinating rhythm,
you got me on the go
Fascinating rhythm,
the neighbors want to
know
I know that once it didn't matter
But now you do it 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
girl I used to be
Fascinating rhythm
Fascinating rhythm
Won't you stop picking on me
