[Chorus]
Fascinatin' rhythm
You’ve got me on the run!
Fascinatin' rhythm
I'm all a-quiver

[Verse 1]
What a mess you’re makin'!
The neighbors want to know
Why I'm always shakin'
Just like a flivver

Each morning I get up with the sun
To find at night no work has been done

[Chorus]
I know that
Once it didn't matter
But now you're doin' 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!
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, how I long to be
The man I used to be!
Fascinatin’ rhythm
Oh, won't you stop picking on me?

Fascinatin’ rhythm
Fascinatin' rhythm

Ah, ah, ah ah
Ah, ah, ah ah
Ah, ah, ah ah
Ah, ah, ah ah

[Verse 2]
Each morning I get up with the sun
To find at night no work has been done

[Chorus]
I know that
Once it didn't matter
But now you're doin’ 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!
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, how I long to be
The man I used to be!
Fascinatin' rhythm
Oh, won't you stop picking on me?

Fascinatin' rhythm
Fascinatin' rhythm
Fascinatin' rhythm
On me

[Outro]
