| When I started down the street last Sunday
|
| Feelin' mighty low and kinda mean
|
| Suddenly a voice said «Go forth, neighbour!
|
| Spread the picture on a wider screen!»
|
| And the voice said, «Neighbour there’s a million reasons
|
| Why you should be glad in all four seasons!
|
| Hit the road, neighbour, leave your worries and strife!
|
| Spread the religion of the rhythm of life.»
|
| (full):
|
| For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
|
| Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet
|
| Rhythm on the inside, rhythm on the street
|
| And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
|
| (repeat 3 times)
|
| Soprano/alto (2nd and 3rd times):

| To feel the rhythm of life

| Tell them ev’ry thing your know!

| Go and spread the gospel in Milwaukee
|
| Take a walkie-talkie to Rocky Ridge
|
| All the way to Canton, then to Scranton
|
| Even tell it under the Manhattan bridge

| You will make a new sensation
|
| Have a growing operation

| Build a glowing operation here below
|
| Like a pied piper blowing
|
| Lead and keep the music flowing
|
| Keep the rhythm go, go, going, go, go go!
