Sarah Vaughan Fascinating Rhythm song lyrics

Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm

That pitter-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

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 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 gal I used to be

Fascinating rhythm, oh won't you stop picking on me?

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 gal I used to be

Fascinating rhythm

Fascinating rhythm

Won't you stop picking on me...
