George Gershwin
Fascinating Rhythm
[Chorus]
Fascinating Rhythm
You've 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 a flivver

[Verse 1]
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're doing wrong
When you start to patter
I'm so unhappy
Why 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!

[Chorus]
Fascinating rhythm
I want you stop ticking on me
Please stop ticking now
Fascinating Rhythm
You've 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 a flivver
[Verse 2]
Each morning I gеt up with the sun
To find at night no work has been done
I know that once it didn't mattеr -
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!
You know I'm so unhapy
Oh, how I long to be
The man I used to be!
Fascinating rhythm
I want to stop
It's such a fascinating rhythm!

[Chorus]
Fascinating Rhythm
You've 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 a flivver
[Verse 3]
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're doing wrong
When you start to patter
I'm so unhappy
Why 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!
