Lyrics:
(In this vast and troubled world)
(We sometimes loose our way)
But I am never lost
I feel this way because

Dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit
Dit-dit, rhythm
Dit-dit, rhythm
Dit-dit, rhythm
Dit-dit, rhythm

I got rhythm
I got music
I got my girl
Who could ask for anything more

I got good times
No more bad times
I got my girl
Who could ask for anything more

Old man trouble (old man trouble)
I don't mind him (I don't mind him)
You won't find him
'Round my door

I got starlight (I got starlight)
I got sweet dreams (I got sweet dreams)
I got my girl
Who could ask for
Who could ask for more

Dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit
Dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit

Old man trouble (old man trouble)
I don't mind him (I don't mind him)
You won't find him
You'll never gonna find 'round my door

I got rhythm (hey, I got rhythm)
I got music (hey, I got music)
I got my girl
Who could ask for anything more
(In this vast and troubled world)

Dit-dit, rhythm
Dit-dit, rhythm
Dit-dit, rhythm
Dit-dit, rhythm

(I got rhythm)
(I got rhythm)
(I got rhythm)
