Fascinatin Rhythm - Count Basie, Tony Bennett, Count Basie Orchestra

Got a little rhythm, a rhythm a rhythm

that pitter 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 all day

I have to sneak up to it, some day I`ll speak up to it

And hope it listens when I say…

(Jamie-instrumental)

Fascinating rhythm

you got me on the go Fascinating Rhythm, I`m all a quiver

what a mess you`re making,

the neighbours want to know

why I`m always shaking,

just like my grandmother.

Each morning I get up with the sun

to find at night no work has been done…

I know that once it didn`t matter,

but now you 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

Why don`t you stop picking on me.

(Jamie-instrumental)
