Fascinating Rhythm

By Diana Krall (1960)
On album But You've Never Heard Gershwin with Bongos (1960)

But You've Never Heard Gershwin with Bongos
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
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 girl I used to be
Fascinating rhythm, oh won't you stop picking on me

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
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 girl I used to be
Fascinating rhythm, oh won't you stop picking on me
Fascinating rhythm, won't you stop picking on me
Fascinating rhythm, won't you stop picking on me
