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 wake 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 come along

Somewhere far away off

And make it snappy



Oh, how I long to be the girl I used to be

Fascinating rhythm

Fascinating rhythm

Fascinating rhythm

Fascinating rhythm,

Stop picking on me
