Vote for Mister Rhythm,
Raise up your voice,
And vote for Mister Rhythm,
The people's choice!

You'll be happy with 'im,
Take my advice,
And vote for Mister Rhythm,
I'm voting twice!

Everyone's a friend of his;
His campaign slogan is,
"Change your woe
Into a (scat)".

Vote for Mister Rhythm,
Let freedom ring,
And soon we'll all be singing,
"Of thee I swing!".

Now when I say vote for Mister Rhythm,
You all know I mean Chick Webb.
That's all, my friends, I came to state,
Now listen to a noble candidate!

Now that's the platform we're running on,
We promise to swing it from now on.
Fellow citizens, all right follow me,
And vote for Mister Rhythm jamboree.

Everyone's a friend of his;
His campaign slogan is,
"Change your woe
Into a (scat)".

Vote for Mister Rhythm,
Let freedom ring,
And soon we'll all be singing,
"Of thee I swing!".
