Lyrics

[Verse: Fred Astaire, Adele Astaire, Both] There's 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 One day I'll sneak up to it Someday I'll speak up to it I hope it listens when I say [Chorus: Fred & Adele Astaire] Fascinating rhythm You've got me on the go Fascinating rhythm I'm all a-quiver What a mess you're making The neighbors wanna 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 / gal I used to be Fascinating rhythm You've gotta stop picking on me [Piano Solo: George Gershwin] [Chorus: Fred & Adele Astaire] Fascinating rhythm I'm all a-quiver 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 / gal I used to be Fascinating rhythm You've gotta stop picking on me
