Kuh Ledesma Fascinating Rhythm Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm
That pit-apats through my brain
So darn persistent the day isn't distant
But it'll drive me insane
Comes in the morning, without any warning
And hangs around me all day
I'll have to sneak up to it someday and speak up to it
I hope it listens when I say

[Verse 2]
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 get up with the sun
Start a-hopping, never stopping
To find at night no work has been done

[Chorus]
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 start a day off, decide to run along?
Somewhere far away off and make it snappy

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, how I long to be the girl I used to be
Fascinating rhythm
Oh, won't you stop picking on me?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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 start a day off, decide to run along?
Somewhere far away off and make it snappy

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, how I long to be the girl I used to be
Fascinating rhythm, fascinating rhythm
Won't you stop picking on me?
