Lyrics Jamie Cullum

Jamie Cullum

Fascinating Rhythm

Got a little rhythm, a rhythm a rhythm

That pitter pats through my brain

So darn persistent, the day isn't distant

When it'll drive me insane

Comes in the morning

Without any warning

And hangs around all day

I have to sneak up to it, some day I'll speak up to it

And hope it listens when I say

Fascinating rhythm

You 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 my grandmother.

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 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

Why don't you stop picking on me.
