The Velvet Fog: The Very Best of Mel Torme
Fascinating Rhythm
You've got me on the go!
Fascinating Rhythm

When a mess you're making!
The neighbors wanna know
Why I'm always shaking

Each morning I get up with the sun
To find at night no work has been done
Once it didn't matter
But now you're doing wrong
When you start to patter

Won't you take a day off?
Decide to run along
Somewhere far away off
Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be!

Fascinating rhythm
You've got me on the go!
Fascinating Rhythm
Got me on the go!
Fascinating rhythm

Once it didn't matter
Now you're doing wrong
When you patter, I'm unhappy

Won't you take a day off?
Better run along
Somewhere way off
Make it snappy!

Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be!
Fascinating rhythm
You've got me on the go!
Fascinating Rhythm
You've got me on the go!
Fascinating Rhythm
Fascinating Rhythm
Fascinating Rhythm
