Everybody Always Ask Me
How I Got To Play So Fine
And Friends, I'm Gonna Tell Ya
It Really Did Take Some Time

Yes, After Years And Years Of Practice
And A Case Of Real Bad Knees
While The Other Guys Were Out Playin' With The Football
I Was Home Bangin' On The Keys
And It Got Me

(*) Right Where I Am
This Is Me
Playing The Piano
I Hope Ya Like What I Do
It's For You
And I'll Try And Sing Right Too

I Guess I'm Really Very Lucky
That I've Got This Thing To Play
'Cause It Can Really Make Me Feel Good
Even When It's Cloudy And Grey

Yes, After Years And Years Of Practice
And Awful Allergies That Made Me Sneeze
And Now The Other Guys Are Out Playin' With Their Girlfriends
And I Was Still Bangin' On The Keys
And It Got Me

Repeat (*)

Let The Drums Roll Out
Let The Trumpet Call
While The People Shout
Strike Up The Band

Come Along, Let's Go
Hey, Leader, Strike Up The Band!

Don't Mind Telling You, In My Humble Fash
That You Thrill Me Through, With A Tender Pash,
When You Said You Care, 'magine My Emoshe
I Swore Then And There, Permanent Devoshe,
You Made All Other Men Seem Blah
Just You Alone Filled Me With Ahhhhhhhh......

's Wonderful, 's Marvellous
You Should Care For Me!
's Awful Nice, 's Paradise,
's What I Love To See.

You've Made My Life So Glamorous,
You Can't Blame Me For Feeling Amorous!

's What I Love To See.

My Dear, It's Four Leaved Clover Time,
From Now On My Heart's Working Overtime,
's Exceptional, 's No Bagatelle,
That You Should Care For...
That You Should Care For...

Got A Little Rhythm, A Rhythm, A Rhythm
That Pit-a-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 Me All Day.
I'll Have To Sneak Up To It
Someday, And Speak Up To It.
I Hope It Listens When I Say:

Refrain:
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 -
Start A-hopping,
Never Stopping -
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?
