Rhythm of Life
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
Ready to be hooked on new religions
Hit the road, Daddy. Leave your common-law wife
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life"
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
To feel the powerful beat
To feel the tingle in your fingers
To feel the tingle in your feet
To feel the rhythm of life
To feel the powerful beat
To feel the tingle in your fingers
To feel the tingle in your feet
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 the new sensation, got himself a congregation
Built up quite an operation down below
With the pied piper blowing, while the muscatel was flowing
All the cats were go, go, going down below
Daddy was the new sensation, got himself a congregation
Built up quite an operation down below
With the pied piper blowing, while the muscatel was flowing
All the cats were go, go, going down below
Flip your wings and fly to Daddy
Flip your wings and fly to Daddy
Flip your wings and fly to Daddy
Fly, fly, fly to Daddy
Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy
Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy
Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy
Crawl, crawl, crawl to Daddy
Do wee daddy do wee daddy do
Zig a dee dan da da
Do wee daddy do wee daddy do
Split it split it split it
Do wee daddy do wee daddy do
Zig a dee dan da da
The rhythm of life is a powerful beat
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
To feel the powerful beat
To feel the tingle in your fingers
To feel the tingle in your feet
To feel the rhythm of life
To feel the powerful beat
To feel the tingle in your fingers
To feel the tingle in your feet
Flip your wings and fly to Daddy
Take a dive and swim to Daddy
Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy
Daddy we got the rhythm of life
Of life, of life, of life
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Man!
