Fascinating Rhythm - Ed Thigpen

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

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,

Won't Stop picking on me?

Fascinating Rhythm,

You've got me on the go!

Fascinating Rhythm,

I'm all a quiver.

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,

Fascinating rhythm,

Fascinating rhythm,

Stop picking on me?
