The Rhythm (Live from Melbourne, December 2021) [Original Line-up Final Tour] Songtext
von The Cat Empire

And for all
All the sweet loving that I have received
In the sun, in the rain, by the moon, by the sea
There is one time that I′m thinking of
One time where one woman did knock me off my feet

And my knees were shaking, and my jaw was dropping
And my eyes were squinting, and my smile was growing
And my pants were bulging, and my hands were sweating
And my chest was beating
So I cry
"Excuse me
What is the secret to your soul?"


'Cause when you′re walking along
Ah, when you're walking along
Your legs are a melody my hands
Would like to play, and your hips are a note that does take me away
And your face and your eyes and your hair
And your waist and your smile drive me to distraction

She turned and she gave the evil eye
"Why? Thank you" she said, then she sighed
Oh, there's one thing I think you failed to mention

What? I said, then she said
"It′s the rhythm you forgot"
And right then I knew what was what
And she snuck to my lips, and she kissed them
She said, "Young man, I′ll show you some rhythm"
I'll like to show you some rhythm
On guitar, let′s go
"What?" I said, then she said
"It's the rhythm you forgot"
And right then I knew what was what
And she snuck to my lips, and she kissed them
She said, "Young man, I′ll show you some rhythm"

I should show you some rhythm
I should show you some rhythm
