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' rhy hm, 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 hop ping, 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
