The Cat Empire
The Rhythm
And for all of the sweet loving
That I have received
In the sun in the rain
By the moon by the sea
There is one time that I'm thinking of
One time where one woman
Did knock me off my feet
And my knees were shaking
And my jaw was dropping
And my eyes were squinting
And my smile was growing
And my pants were bulging
And my hands were sweating
And my chest was beating
So I cry
"Excuse me, what is the secret to your soul?"

Cause when you're walking along
When you're walking along

Your legs are a melody my hands
Would like to play
And your hips are a note
That does take me away
And your face and your eyes and your hair
And your waist and your smile
Drive me to distraction
She turned and she gave the evil eye
"Why thank you," she said
Then she sighed, "Oh there's one thing
I think you failed to mention"
"What?" I said then she said
"It's the rhythm you forgot"
And right then I knew what was what
And she snuck to my lips
And she kissed them
She said "Young man
I'll show you some rhythm"
Oh and she'll show you some rhythm

And since then
The rhythm's been running through my veins
In my thoughts in my eyes
In my head
It's insane
It's the thing that does drive me to scream
On the street when I think
Of some places it's taken me
I feel horny
When I'm thinking of some of that rhythm in my mind
What she gave, what she gives to me
All of the time
Say a little bit of sweet
Loving in your day
All my friends know it
Keeps the bad thoughts away
So sing with your hips my baby
When you're dancing to this tune
And when this tune is through
We'll sneak to some place and continue to
Say sing with your hips my baby
When you're dancing to this tune
And when this tune is through
We'll sneak to some place and continue to
She said, "I'll show you some rhythm"
She'll show you some rhythm
