Fascinating Rhythm Songtext
von Fred Astaire

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 a flivver

Each morning I get up with the sun
Start a-hopping, never stopping
To find at night no work has been done

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 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
Oh won't you stop picking on me?

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 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, fascinating rhythm, fascinating rhythm
Stop picking on me?
