Judy Garland - Fascinatin' 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?
