Sweet Charity (Original London Cast Recording)
The 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
Waitin' 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 (The Rhythm of Life is a powerful beat)
To feel the powerful beat (Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet)
To feel the tingle in your fingers (Rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm in the street)
To feel the tingle in your feet (Yes, The Rhythm of Life is a powerful beat)
To feel The Rhythm Of Life (Daddy-O)
To feel the powerful beat (Go, go, go)
To feel the tingle in your fingers (Tell them everything)
To feel the tingle in your feet (You know)
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 pie-eyed piper blowing, while the muscatel was flowing
All the cats were go, go, go-ing down below!
Daddy was the new sensation, got himself a congregation
Built up quite an operation down below
With the pie-eyed piper blowing, while the muscatel was flowing
All the cats were go, go, go-ing down below
With the pie-eyed piper blowing (Daddy was the new sensation, got himself a congregation)
While the muscatel was flowing (Built up quite an operation down below)
All the cats were go, go, go-ing (With the pie-eyed piper blowing, while the muscatel was flowing)
Down below (All the cats were go, go, go-ing 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!
Take a dive and swim to Daddy
Take a dive and swim to Daddy
Take a dive and swim to Daddy
Swim, swim, swim 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!
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 (And The Rhythm Of Life is a powerful beat)
To feel the powerful beat (Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet)
To feel the tingle in your fingers (Rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm on the street)
To feel the tingle in your feet (Yes, The Rhythm of Life is a powerful beat!)
To feel The Rhythm Of Life (Daddy-O)
To feel the powerful beat (Go, go, go)
To feel the tingle in your fingers (Tell them everything)
To feel the tingle in your feet (You know)
To feel The Rhythm Of Life!
To feel the powerful beat!
To feel the tingle in your fingers!
To feel the tingle in your—
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!
