Lyrics

[Chorus]
Fascinating rhythm
You got me on the go
Fascinating rhythm
What a mess you're making
The neighbors wanna know
Why I'm always shaking
[Verse 1]
Each morning I get up with the sun
To find at night no work has been done
Once it didn't matter
But now you're doing wrong
When you start to patter
Won't you take a day off?
Decide to run along
Somewhere far away off
Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be
[Chorus]
Fascinating rhythm
You got me on the go
Fascinating rhythm
Got me on the go
Fascinating rhythm
[Verse 2]
Once it didn't matter
Now you're doing wrong
When you patter, I'm unhappy
Won't you take a day off?
Better run along
Somewhere way off
Make it snappy
Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be
[Chorus]
Fascinating rhythm
You got me on the go
Fascinating rhythm
You got me on the go
Fascinating rhythm
Fascinating rhythm
Fascinating rhythm
Written by: George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin
