Nice Work If You Can Get It the Musical - Fascinating Rhythm Lyrics

"Fascinating Rhythm" is a song from Nice Work If You Can Get It the musical performed by Matthew Broderick (Jimmy), Michael McGrath (Cookie).

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.

Someday I'll sneak up to it
And then I'll 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 neighbors 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 man I used to be!
Fascinating rhythm
Oh won't you stop picking on me?

Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be!
Fascinating rhythm
Oh won't you stop picking on me?

Rhythm!
It's got that rhythm!
It's got that rhythm!
It's got that rhythm!
