Fascinatin' Rhythm

By Antônio Carlos Jobim (1987)
On album Passarim (1987)

Passarim
Fascinating rhythm
You've got me on the go!
Fascinating rhythm
I'm all a-quiver

When 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
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
On won't you stop picking on me?

Fascinating rhythm
Fascinating rhythm

Each morning I wake up with the sun
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
On won't you stop picking on me?

Fascinating rhythm
Fascinating rhythm on me
