I Got Rhythm Lyrics

(Verse)
Days can be sunny
With never a sigh
Don't need what money
Can buy

Birds in the trees sing
Their dayful of song
Why shouldn't we sing

I'm chipper all the day
Happy with my lot
How do I get that way?
Look at what I got

(Chorus)
I got rhythm
I got music
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?

I got daisies
In green pastures
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?

Old Man Trouble
I don't mind him
You won't find him
'Round my door

I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
Who could ask for anything more?
