At night when you turn off all the lights
There's no place that you can hide
No, no, the rhythm is gonna get you

In bed throw the covers on your head
You pretend like you are dead
But I know it, the rhythm is gonna get you

Rhythm is gonna get you
The rhythm is gonna get you
Rhythm is gonna get you
The rhythm is gonna get you tonight

No way you can fight it every day
But no matter what you say
You know it the rhythm is gonna get you

No clue of what's happening to you
And before this night is through
Yeah baby, the rhythm is gonna get you
Get you, get you, yeah
Rhythm is gonna get you
The rhythm is gonna get you
Rhythm is gonna get you
The rhythm is gonna get you tonight

O eh, o eh, o eh, o eh
O eh, oo aah, o eh, oo aah
O eh, o eh, o eh, o eh
O eh, oo aah, o eh, oo aah

Rhythm is gonna get you
The rhythm is gonna get you
Rhythm is gonna get you
Rhythm is gonna get you
Rhythm is gonna get you
Rhythm is gonna get you, yeah
