GUEST,LOOPYLOU ADD: The Rhythm of Life (from Sweet Charity) (113* d) RE: Req/ADD: The Rhythm of Life 21 Aug 10


I am just learning this fantastic song.. and am honoured to say, I'll be singing it with other members of the just formed Dundee Proms Chorus, for the Dundee Last Night of the Proms 2010! We've just started the rehearsals. At the moment I go blue in the face as its so fast, but I'm just getting the breaths sorted!

I sing soprano, so not all parts will sing it the same...

Verse 1
When I started down the street last Sunday
feelin' mighty low and kind a mean
Suddenly a voice said go forth neighbour
spread the picture on a wider screen
And the voice said neighbour there's a million reasons
why you should be glad in all four seasons
Hit the road neighbour leave your worries and strife
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life

Chorus
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 on the street
and 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 (2x)

Verse 2
Go and spread the gospel in Milwaukee
Take a walkie talkie to Rocky Ridge
All the way to Canton then to Scranton
even tell it under the Manhattan bridge
Bridge
(Fast 3x)
You will make a new sensation
have a growing congregation
build a glowing operation
here below
Like a pied piper blowing
Lead and keep the music flowing
Keep the rhythm go go going
Go go go

Flip your wings and fly up high
Flip your wings and fly up high
Flip your wings and fly up high,
Fly, fly, fly up high

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

Like a bird up in the sky
Like a bird up in the sky
Like a bird up in the sky
Fly, fly, fl-y

Doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, do-bi
Doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, do-bi
Doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, do-bi
Doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, do
(3x)

Chorus 3x
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
and 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 – Life-Life-Life



.. Rhythm- rhythm- rhythm
