Fascinating Rhythm Songtext
von Come Shine

I′ve got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm
That pitter-pats through my brain
So darn persistent, the day isn't distant
′Til 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've 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 flivver
Each morning I wake up with the sun
To find at night the work has been done
I know that once it didn′t matter, but now you're doing wrong
When you start to patter on so unhappy
Won′t you take a day off, decide to run along
Somewhere far away if I make it snappy Oh, how I long to be the one I used to be
Fascinating rhythm, oh, won't you stop picking on me?
Fascinating rhythm, you′ve 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 flivver
Each morning I wake up with the sun
Start a-hopping, never stopping to find
At night the work has been done
I know that once it didn′t matter, but now you're doing wrong
When you start to patter on so unhappy
Won′t you take a day off, decide to run along
Somewhere far away if I make it snappy
Oh, how I long to be the one I used to be
Fascinating rhythm, oh, won't you stop picking
Fascinating rhythm, oh, won′t you stop picking
Fascinating rhythm, oh, won't you stop picking on me?
