Fascinatin’ Rhythm

[SUSIE]
Got 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 mornin'
Without any warnin'
And hangs around me all day
I'll have to sneak up to it
Someday, and speak up to it
I hope it listens when I say

Fascinatin' rhythm
You got me on the go
Fascinatin' rhythm
I'm all a-quiver

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
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'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

Oh, how I long to be the girl I used to be
Fascinatin' rhythm
Oh, won't you stop pickin' on me?

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 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

Oh, how I long to be the girl I used to be
Fascinatin' rhythm
Fascinatin' rhythm
Fascinatin' rhythm
Oh, won't you stop pickin' on me?
