Fascinating Rhythm
Fascinating Rhythm- The Real Group Transcription
[Intro]
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 mornin'
Without any warning
And hangs around me all day
I'll have to sneak up to it
Someday I'll speak up to it
I hope it listens when I say

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
Fascinating rhythm, you got me on the go
Fascinating rhythm, I'm all a-quiver
What a mess you're makin'
The neighbors want to know
Why I'm always skakin' just like a flivver
Each morning I get up with the sun
Start a hoppin, never stoppin
To find at night no work has been done
I know that once it didn't matter
But now you do it wrong
When you start to patter
I'm so unhappy
Won't you take a day off
Decide to run along
Somеwhere far away off
And make it snappy

Oh how I long to bе the one I used to be
Fascinating rhythm
Won't you stop pickin' on me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Instrumental Break]

Fascinating rhythm keeps ramblin through my brain
Captivating rhythm keeps drivin' me so insane
You got me on the go all a-quiver
I’m always shakin' just like a flivver
Fascinating rhythm
All day long we're singing that same old song

[Instrumental Break]

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh oh oh
[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
Fascinating rhythm got me on the go
Fascinating rhythm all the neighbors wanna know
Each mornin I get up with the sun
To find at night no work has been done

Once it didn't matter
Now you doin' wrong
When you patter I'm unhappy
Won’t you take a day off
Better run along
Somwhere way off
Make it snappy
Oh, how I long to be the one I used to be

[Outro]
Fascinating rhythm you got me on the go
Fascinating rhythm the neighbors wanna know
Fascinating rhythm
Stop pickin on me
(Fascinating rhythm)
Stop pickin on me
(Fascinating rhythm)
Won’t you stop pickin on me?
(Ooh ooh)
Stop pickin on me
Fascinating Rhythm
I got a little rhythm
Every morning without any warning
Time to sneak up
Someday I’ll speak up
Here’s what I’d say
Fascinating rhythm you got me on the go
Fascinating rhythm the neighbors wanna know
Fascinating rhythm
Stop pickin on me
Fascinating rhythm!
