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." 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! 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! Go, go, go! Go, go, go! Tell them everything you know! 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. 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!
