Got a little rhy - thm, a rhy - thm, a rhy - thm That pitter-pats in my brain, So darn per - sis - tent, the day is - n't dis - tant When it'll drive me in - sane; Comes in the morn - ing, with - out an - y warn - ing And hangs a - round me all day; I'll have to sneak up to it, some - day and speak up to it -- I hope it lis - tens when I say Fas - ci - na - tin' rhy - thm, you've got me on the go; Fas - ci - na - tin' rhy - thm, I'm all a-quiv - er. What a mess you're mak - ing, the neigh - bors want to know Why I'm always shaking, just like a flivver. Each morning I get up with the sun, Start a-hop - ping, nev - er stop - ping. To find, that night, no work has been done. I know that once it did - n't mat - ter, But now you're do - ing wrong When you start to pat - ter, I'm so un - hap - py; Won't you take a day off, de - cide to run a - long Some - where far a - way off, and make it snap - py? Oh, how I long to be the girl I used to be -- Fas - ci - na - tin' rhy - thm, Oh, won't you stop pick - ing on me?
