Fascinating Rhythm

[COOKIE, spoken]
Wait, that's it!

[COOKIE]
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 morning
Without any warning
And hangs around me all day
Someday I'll sneak up to it
And then I'll speak up to it
I hope it listens when I say

[COOKIE & JIMMY]
Fascinating rhythm
You've got me on the go
Fascinating rhythm
I'm all a-quiver

What a mess you're making
The neighbors want to know
Why I'm always shaking
Just like a flivver

[JIMMY]
Each morning I get up with the sun

[COOKIE]
Start a-hopping
Never stopping

[JIMMY]
To find at night no work has been done

[COOKIE & JIMMY]
I know that
Once it didn't matter
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

[JIMMY]
Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be

[COOKIE & JIMMY]
Fascinating rhythm
Oh won't you stop picking on me

[COOKIE]
Got a little rhythm

[Chorus GIRLS]
Got a little rhythm

[COOKIE]
Got a little rhythm

[Chorus GUYS]
Got a little rhythm

[COOKIE]
It's got me on the go

[Chorus GUYS]
It's got me on the go

[Chorus GIRLS & CHORUS GUYS]
Got a little rhythm
It's got me on the go
Gotta go
Gotta go
Go, go, go, go, go

[CHORUS GIRLS & CHORUS GUYS]
Fascinating rhythm's
Got me on the go now
Ooh
(Fascinating rhythm's
Got me on the go now)
That fascinating (Ooh)
I've got that fascinating rhythm (That fascinating rhythm)
I've got that fascinating rhythm (That fascinating rhythm)

[Chorus GIRLS & CHORUS GUYS]
Got a little rhythm
A rhythm, a rhythm
Got a little rhythm
A rhythm, a rhythm
Got a little rhythm
That's got me on the go
Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go
Go, go, go, go, go

[DANCE BREAK]

[Chorus GIRLS & CHORUS GUYS]
Got a little rhythm
A rhythm, a rhythm
Got a little rhythm
A rhythm, a rhythm
Got a little rhythm
Rhythm
Rhythm

Once it didn't matter
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

[JIMMY]
Oh how I long to be the man I used to be

[Chorus GIRLS & GUYS]
Fascinating rhythm
Oh won't you stop picking on me

[JIMMY, COOKIE, Chorus GIRLS & GUYS]

Rhythm
It's got me
