GOTTA LOT OF RHYTHM IN MY SOUL
(W S Stevenson / Barbara Ann Vaughn)

as recorded by Patsy Cline
1959


Come on dad, get with the jive,
Let's let 'em know that we're alive,
Until the break of dawn
We'll yell for more more more!
Gonna live it up an' tear it down,
Get in the groove and paint the town,
Gotta lot o' rhythm in my soul!

Well now, baby baby let's a-go tonight,
Together you and me.
Baby baby, when ya hold me tight,
Ooh-wee, watcha do to me!
The big black hands on the clock
Tell me that it's time to rock,
Gotta lot o' rhythm in my soul!

Big Bad Pete with the crazy bop
When the lights are low an' the music's hot,
Dance from two to three and then a-half past four!
When that sun peeks over the hill,
I won't stop, I'll be rockin' still,
Gotta lot o' rhythm in my soul!

Well now, baby baby let's a-go tonight,
Together you and me.
Baby baby, when ya hold me tight,
Ooh-wee, watcha do to me!
The big black hands on the clock
Tell me that it's time to rock,
Gotta lot o' rhythm in my soul!

Well now, baby baby let's a-go tonight,
Together you and me.
Baby baby, when ya hold me tight,
Ooh-wee, watcha do to me!
The big black hands on the clock
Tell me that it's time to rock,
Gotta lot o' rhythm in my soul,
Gotta lot o' rhythm in my soul!
