Testo Fascinating Rhythm Ella Fitzgerald
Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm
That pit-a-pats through my brain;
So darn persistent,
The day isnât distant
When itâll drive me insane.
Comes in the morning
Without any warning,
And hangs around me all day.
Iâll have to sneak up to it
Someday, and speak up to it.
I hope it listens when I say:
Refrain:
Fascinating rhythm,
Youâve got me on the go!
Fascinating rhythm,
Iâm all a-quiver.
When a mess youâre making!
The neighbours want to know
Why Iâm 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 didnât matter -
But now youâre doing wrong;
When you start to patter
Iâm so unhappy.
Wonât you take a day off?
Decide to run along
Somewhere far away off -
And make it snappy!
Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be!
Fascinating rhythm,
On wonât you stop picking on me?
