Lyrics

Fas ci nat ing rhy thm, you’ve got me on the go!

Fas ci nat ing rhy thm, I’m all a quiv er.

(Eb7)What a mess your mak ing!

The neigh bors want to know why I’m al ways shak ing just like a fliv ver.

Each morn ing (Fm7)I get (Bb7)up with the (Eb)sun,

(Start a hop ping, (Gm)nev er stop ping) to find, at night, no (F7)work has been (Bb7)done.

I know that (Bb7)once it did n’t mat ter, but now you’re do ing wrong; when you start to pat ter, I’m so un hap py.

(Eb7)Won’t you take a day off?

De cide to run a long some where far a way off, and make it snap py!

Oh, how I (Fm6)long to (G7)be the man I used to (F7)be!

(Bb7)Fas ci nat ing rhy thm, oh, won’t you stop (F7)pick ing (Bb7)on (Eb)me!

Fas ci nat ing rhy thm, you’ve got me on the go!

Fas ci nat ing rhy thm, I’m all a quiv er.

(Eb7)What a mess your mak ing!

The neigh bors want to know why I’m al ways shak ing just like a fliv ver.

Each morn ing (Fm7)I get (Bb7)up with the (Eb)sun,

(Start a hop ping, (Gm)nev er stop ping) to find, at night, no (F7)work has been (Bb7)done.

I know that (Bb7)once it did n’t mat ter, but now you’re do ing wrong; when you start to pat ter, I’m so un hap py.

(Eb7)Won’t you take a day off?

De cide to run a long some where far a way off, and make it snap py!

Oh, how I (Fm6)long to (G7)be the man I used to (F7)be!

(Bb7)Fas ci nat ing rhy thm, oh, won’t you stop (F7)pick ing (Bb7)on (Eb)me!

(Eb)me!
