Rhythm of Life

Cy Coleman, Dorothy Fields, Seth Gaaikema, Patrick Theunisse

Daddy started out in San Francisco,
Tootin' on his trumpet loud and mean
Suddenly a voice said, Go forth, Daddy

Spread the picture on a wider screen

And the voice said, "Daddy, there's a million pigeons" (Daddy, go)
"Ready to be hooked on new religions" (go-go-go)
Hit the road, Daddy Leave your common-law wife (tell the message)
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life (that you know)

And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet
Rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm in the street
Yes, the rhythm of life is a powerful beat

To feel the rhythm of life (and the rhythm of life is a powerful beat)
To feel the powerful beat (puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet)
To feel the tingle in your fingers (rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm in the street)
To feel the tingle in your feet (the rhythm of life is a powerful beat)

Daddy go (and the rhythm of life is a powerful beat)
Go-go-go (puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet)
Tell the message that you know (rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm in the street)

Daddy spread the gospel in Milwaukee
Took his walkie-talkie to Rocky Ridge
Blew his way to Canton, then to Scranton
Till he landed under the Manhattan Bridge

Daddy was a new sensation, got himself a congregation
Built up quite an operation down below
With the pie-eyed piper blowing, while the muscatel was flowing
All the cats were go, go, going
(Down below)
