THE RHYTHM OF LIFE

VERSE 1: 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: 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
Chorus special (sung one line for each line in chorus)
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

VERSE 2: Go and spread the gospel in Milwaukee
Take a walkie-talkie to Rocky Ridge
All the way to Canton then to Scranton
Eve tell it under the Manhattan bridge

BRIDGE (FAST): 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

BRIDGE SPECIAL (HALF SPEED) 1 LINE FOR EVERY 2 LINES OF BRIDGE
You will make a new sensation
Have a growing congregation
Build a glowing operation
Here below go, go

(BRIDGE IS REPEATED AGAIN FOR SECOND PART OF BRIDGE SPECIAL)
Like a pied piper blowing
Lead and keep the music flowing
Keep the rhythm go, go, going
Go, go, go, go, go (LAST THREE GOS ARE SUNG TOGETHER)

CHORUS SPECIAL (LAST TIME)
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

ENDING (ALL TOGETHER)
Life...life...
Neighbor you've got the
...Rhythm...rhythm
...Rhythm of life!
