Here is the version from choir perspective that I used to sing 10 years ago:

When I started down the street last Sunday
Feeling mighty low and kinda mean
Suddenly a voice said, "Go forth, neighbor! Speed 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."

For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
Puts a tingle in your fingers and 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!
[ATB: for .. 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!
[AT: for .. beat!]
[B: Go, go, go! Go, go, go! Tell them ev'rything you know!]

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

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, gong; go, go, go!

[Flip your wings and fly up high!] 3 Fly, fly, fly up high!
[You can do it if you try!] 3 Try, try, try to fly!
[Like the bird up in the sky!] 3 Fly, fly, fly!

[Doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doo!] Repeat

[O the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
Puts a tingle in your fingers and tingle in your feet!
Rhythm on the inside, rhythm on the street, and the rhythm of life is a powerful beat!] 3

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!
Neighbor, you've got the rhythm, rhythm, rhythm of life!
