Fascinating Rhythm

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
 I'll have to sneak up to it
 Someday, and speak up to it
 I hope it listens when I say
 Fascinating rhythm
 You've got me on the go
 Fascinating rhythm
 I'm all a quiver
 What a mess you're making
 The neighbours want to know
 Why I'm always shaking
 Just like a flivver
 Each morning I get up with the sun
 Start a hopping, never stopping
 To find at night no work has been done
 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
 Oh, how I long to be the girl I used to be
 Fascinating rhythm
 Oh, won't you stop picking on me
