RHYTHM OF LIFE LYRICS
Verse 1
When I started down the street last Sunday
feeling mighty low and kind of mean
Suddenly a voice said go forth neighbor
spread the picture on a wider screen
And the voice said neighbor there's a million reasons
why you should be glad in all four seasons
Hit the road neighbor leave your worries and strife
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life
Chorus (3x layered: all/add sop/ add bass)
For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet
rhythm on the inside rhythm on the street
and the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
sop[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]
bass[Go, go, go! Go, go go! Tell them every thing you know!]
Verse 2
Go and spread the gospel in Milwaukee
Take a walkie talkie to Rocky Ridge
All the way to Canton then to Scranton
even tell it under the Manhattan bridge
(3x layered, fast SA alone, then add slow TB parts)
You will make a new sensation, have a growing congregation
build a glowing operation here below
Like a pied piper blowing, lead and keep the music flowing
Keep the rhythm go go going, go go go!
(unison)
Flip your wings and fly up high
Flip your wings and fly up high
Flip your wings and fly up high,
Fly, fly, fly up high
(2 parts-sop and tenor go up)
You can do it if you try
You can do it if you try
You can do it if you try
Try, try, try to fly
(3 parts-Sop 1 and Tenor go up again)
Like a bird up in the sky
Like a bird up in the sky
Like a bird up in the sky
Fly, fly, fly!
(3x layered, basses first, then add sop, then add alto/tenor)
bass Doo- bi doo- bi, doo- bi, doo- bi, doo- bi doo- bi, doo-bi doo!

Doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, do-bi
Doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, doobi, do
Chorus (3x, layered-all, then add alto, then add tenor/bass)
O, the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet
rhythm on the inside rhythm in the street
and the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
alto[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]
tenor/bass[Go, go, go! Go, go go! Tell them every thing you know!]
