fascinating rhythm

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 all day

i have to sneak up to it

some day i'll speak up to it

and hope it listens when i say. fascinating rhythm

you got me on the go

fascinating rhythm

i'm all a quiver

what a mess you're making

the neighbours want to know

why i'm always shaking

just like my grandmother

each morning i get up with the sun

to find at night no work has been done. i know that once it didn't matter

but now you 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

why don't you stop picking on me
