Thread Name: ADD: The Rhythm of Life (from Sweet Charity)
Subject: Lyr Add: RHYTHM OF LIFE
I am currently learning the song RHYTHM OF LIFE in county chorus. As guest did a good job on the lyrics, they missed a lot of words. Here are the lyrics I am singing for the concert tomorrow and if I might add this is my favorite piece that we are singing for the 7th grade songs.

RHYTHM OF LIFE

When I started down the street last Sunday
Feeling mighty low and kinda mean
Suddenly a voice said go forth neighbor
Spread the picture on a wider screen
And the voice said neighbor there's a million reasons
Why you should be glad in all four seasons
Hit the road neighbor leave your worries and strife
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life

*CHORUS* (Only the sopranos sing this part, not everyone)
For the rhythm of life
Is a powerful beat
Puts a tingle in your fingers
And a tingle in your feet
Rhythm on the inside
Rhythm in the street
For the rhythm of life
Is a powerful beat
(Repeat once more)

*VERSE 2* (Only baritones sing this part, once again, not everyone)

Go and spread the gospel in Milwaukee
Take a walkie-talkie to rocky ridge

(Only soprano and alto sing this part)

All the way to Canton then to Scranton
(Fast) Even tell it under the Manhattan Bridge
Bridge

(Only soprano sing this part)

You will make a new sensation
Have a growing congregation
Build a glowing operation
He-re be-low---

Flip your wings
And fly up high
Flip your wings
And fly up high
Flip your wings
And fly up high
Fly, fly, try to fly

You can do it
If you try
You can do it
If you try
You can do it
If you try
Try, try, try to fly

(This is all three singing types)

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

(Sopranos first part, alto and baritone is the second line each time) (They sing these two lines at the same time with each section singing their part)

For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
To feel the rhythm of life
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet
To feel the powerful beat
Rhythm on the inside rhythm in the street
To feel the tingle in your fingers
And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
To feel the tingle in your feet

Rhythm of your life (baritone and alto do this low and sopranos normal)
...
Rhythm of life--- (soprano sing this part very high)(baritone and alto sing this the same as last)
