Spread the religion, spread the religion,
|
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life.
|
Daddy started out in San Francisco,
|
Tootin' on his trumpet loud and mean.
|
Suddenly a voice said, «Go forth, Daddy.
|
Spread the picture on a wider screen.»
|
And the voice said, «Daddy, there’s a million pigeons
|
Ready to be hooked on new religions.
|
Hit the road, Daddy. |
Leave your common-law wife.
|
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life.»
|
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.
|
To feel the rhythm of life,
|
To feel the powerful beat,
|
To feel the tingle in your fingers,
|
To feel the tingle in your feet.
|
Ooooo
|
Daddy spread the gospel in Milwaukee,
|
Took his walkie-talkie to Rocky Ridge,
|
Blew his way to Canton, then to Scranton,
|
Till he landed under the Manhattan Bridge.
|
Daddy was the new sensation, got himself a congregation,
|
Built up quite an operation down below.
|
With the pie-eyed piper blowing, while the muscatel was flowing,
|
All the cats were go, go, going down below.

Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,
|
Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,

Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,

Fly, fly, fly to Daddy.

To feel the rhythm of life,
|
To feel the powerful beat,

Daddy we got the rhythm of life,
|
The rhythm of life, the rhythm of life.

Daddy we got the rhythm of life,
|
The rhythm of life, the rhythm of life.
|
Daddy we got the rhythm of life,
|
The rhythm of life, the rhythm of life.
