I Got Rhythm lyrics
by George Gershwin
[HENRI]
Days can be sunny with never a sigh
Don't need what money can buy
[HENRI, spoken]
Can we light up the accompaniment?
[ADAM, spoken]
No, we cannot
[HENRI]
Birds in the tree sing their day full of song
Why shouldn't we sing along?
[HENRI, spoken]
It's like a funeral
[JERRY, spoken]
Kind of gloomy
[HENRI]
I'm chipper all the day, happy with my lot
[HENRI, spoken]
Happy? It doesn't sound that way
[ADAM]
How did I get that way?
[ADAM, spoken]
Something, something, something
[HENRI]
I got rhythm, I got music
[HENRI, spoken]
No, no, no, no
[HENRI]
I got my gal, who could ask for anything more?
[HENRI, spoken]
It's better in 4/4
[HENRI]
I got daisies in green pastures
I got my gal, who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble, I don't mind him
You won't find him 'round my door
I got starlight, I got sweet dreams
Stop it
I got my gal, who could ask for anything more?
Who could ask for anything more?
[HENRI, spoken]
Look
Look at their faces
People need to laugh
Paris needs it
[ADAM, spoken]
Who said music has to cheer people up?
[HENRI, spoken]
I say it
[HENRI & JERRY]
Old man trouble, I don't mind him
You won't find him 'round my door
I got starlight, I got sweet dreams
I got my gal, who could ask for anything more?
Who could ask for anything more?
[ENSEMBLE]
I got rhythm, I got music
I got my gal, who could ask for anything more?
I got daisies in green pastures
I got my gal, who could ask for anything more?
[ADAM, spoken]
And the day turned to night, and somehow, in that little slip of time
The three of us became
[ADAM, JERRY & HENRI, spoken]
The three musketeers
[COMPANY]
I got rhythm, I got music
I got my gal, who could ask for anything more?
I got daisies in green pastures
I got my gal, who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble, I don't mind him
You won't find him 'round my door
[MAN, spoken]
Don't worry, it's only an electricity
[ADAM, spoken]
It's okay, we'll take care of it
[COMPANY]
I got rhythm, I got rhythm
Allez, allez, allez, allez
I got rhythm, I got music
I got rhythm, I got music
I got my gal, who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble, I don't mind him
You won't find him 'round my door
I got starlight, I got sweet dreams
I got my gal, who could ask for anything more?
Who could ask for anything more, more, more, more, more?
