G    G6      G7  G6   G  G7 G6  G G7  G6 G
Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm
     G6     G7    G6       G
That pitter pats in my brain 
G  G6     G7  G6   G  G7  G6  G  G7  G6
So darn persistent, the day isn't distant
     G     Am7   Dm7  Am7 G
When it'll drive me insane
 C   Am    C7   Am  C     C7  Am  C    C7
Comes in the morning, without any warning
    C      Am     C7  Am  C7/9
And hangs around me all day
     C        Am     C7   Am      D9       Am7     D7
I'll have to sneak up to it, someday and speak up to it
   C         Am    C7       D7
I hope it listens when I say 
Am7   C      D7           Am7     C      D7
Fascinatin' rhythm, you've got me on the go 
Am7  C       D7            Am7  D7
Fascinatin' rhythm, I'm all aquiver 
Dm7     F           G7             Dm7       F        G7
What a mess you're making, the neighbors want to know 
Dm7       F      G7             Dm7     G7
Why I'm always shaking, just like a flivver 
C    C/B    Am7        Cdim           G  G/F#
Each morning   I    get   up with the sun
 G/B     Am7      D9     Am7
Start a hopping, never stopping 
A    Em7        A7         G/B      A7   D7
To find, that night, no work has been done
   C     C/B   Am7     C       D7
I know that once it didn't matter
     Am7               D7
But now you're doing wrong 
Am7       C         D7            C    D7
When you start to patter, I'm so unhappy 
Dm7        F      G7          Dm7      F     G7
Won't you take a day off, decide to run along
Dm7        F     G7             Dm7     G7
Somewhere far away off, and make it snappy
C   C/B   Am7     D7  Am7   D7    B7          E7
Oh, how I long to be  the  girl I    used to be
Am   C       D7
Fascinatin' rhythm
    Am         C    D7   Am7  G
Oh, won't you stop picking on me
