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
Full
key step up
Half
key step up
Half
key step down
Full
key step down
