lyrics

A Rocking Little Rhythm

Nothing in my hands.
Nothing up my sleeve.
A rocking little rhythm is the only thing we need
to make a little magic on a winter’s night.
We’ll get a fire burning if the rhythm’s right.
Come on, everybody, don’t you want to move your feet to the beat?

When I was growing up,
just a little boy,
I wrote to Santa Claus not to bring me any toys —
just a little tin drum and a pair of sticks
‘cause with a rocking little rhythm I could get my kicks.
Come on, everybody, don’t you want to move your feet to the beat?

Out in Albuquerque, down in Baton Rouge,
a rocking little rhythm’s gonna change your attitude.
Over on the beaches in the south of France,
all the mademoiselles want to dance, dance, dance.

You might be alcoholic.
You may be overweight.
You might be out this evening on a real bad date.
But just forget about your troubles for a little while.
That rocking little rhythm’s gonna make you smile.
Come on, everybody, don’t you want to move your feet to the beat?

Out in Albuquerque, down in Baton Rouge,
a rocking little rhythm’s gonna change your attitude.
Over on the beaches in the south of France,
all the mademoiselles want to dance, dance, dance.

You might be alcoholic.
You may be overweight.
You might be out this evening on a real bad date.
But just forget about your troubles for a little while.
That rocking little rhythm’s gonna make you smile.
Come on, everybody, don’t you want to move your feet to the beat?
