I Got Rhythm

a 1930 popular song
words by Ira Gershwin
Music by George Gershwin


Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

Days can be sunny, with never a sigh
Don’t need what money can buy
Birds in the tree sing their dayful of song
Why shouldn’t we sing along?
I’m chipper all the day, happy with my lot
How do I get that way? Look at what I’ve got

Refrain
I got rhythm, I got music, I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
I got daises in green pastures, I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
Old Man Trouble, I don’t mind him
You won’t find him ’round my door
I got starlight, I got sweet dreams, I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
Who could ask for anything more?
