Fascinating Rhythm

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.

The neighbours want to know
Why I’m always shaking
Just like a flivver.
Each morning I get up with the sun —
