Mama, don't wanna make music Just wanna make rhythm Just wanna go ba-ba-bi-da. I have no desire to carry a Stradivarius But there's no limit of primitive Tom Tom in my tum-tum Mama, I wanna make rhythm Just wanna get hot-cha Just wanna go ba-ba-bi-da
(Jerome/Byron/Kent; check out the recording by the Chenille Sisters)
(Sylvia--"I Got Rhythm" is a George & Ira Gershwin song)
I believe it is from American in Paris, as is "I've got Rhythm", which would make it the Gershwins. I think it's from the very very long dance scene in the middle which doesn't have much in the way of singing.
Actually, Margaret, that's from "Singin' in the Rain"--you did get the Gene Kelly part! The tune is called "The Broadway Melody" and was written by Arthur Freed & Nacio Herb Brown. They also wrote the movie's title song. Great "rhythm" song!
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.
Hey get rhythm when you get the blues Hey get rhythm when you get the blues Yes a jumpy rhythm makes u feel so fine It'll shake all the trouble from your worried mind Yeah get rhythm when you get the blues Johnny Cash

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I got rhythm,
I got music,
I got my man --
Who could ask for anything more?
no idea who -- just stuck in my head
Mama, don't wanna make music
Just wanna make rhythm
Just wanna go ba-ba-bi-da.
I have no desire to carry a
Stradivarius
But there's no limit of primitive
Tom Tom in my tum-tum
Mama, I wanna make rhythm
Just wanna get hot-cha
Just wanna go ba-ba-bi-da

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.
(Coleman/Fields, from "Sweet Charity")
Just listen to the rhythm of the gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with them too before the night is over
