Fascinating Rhythm Music by George Gershwin Lyrics by Ira Gershwin (1924) <BGSOUND src="fascinating-rhythm.mid"> Fascinating rhythm; You've got me on the go! Fascinating rhythm; I'm all aquiver. What a mess you're making, Why I'm always shaking Just like a fliver. Each morning I get up with the sun (Start a hopping, never stopping) To find at night, no work has been done. You won’t find him ‘round my door. 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!
