I'm a rhythm machine; you know what I mean, I'm a rhythm machine; you know what I mean I got time, running through my head in bed, Instead of sleep, I get licks instead, I'm a rhythm machine; you know what I mean, I'm a music man; I play the blues whenever I can, I'm a music man; I play the blues whenever I can, I get a fat backbeat, instead of food when I eat, The ticking of a clock gets me out of my seat I'm a music man; I play the blues whenever I can. I heard Crosscut Saw before I was four Smokestack Lightning had me crawling across the floor The Beach Boys didn't reach me but Fats Domino did I'm been keeping time ever since I was a kid I'm a music machine, don't you know what I mean, I'm rhythm machine; he knows what I mean, oh. Yeah, yeah. I'm a rhythm machine; I'm a rhythm machine, I'm a rhythm machine, don't you know what I mean I'm a music man, yeah, I'm gonna play the blues whenever I can, Hey, play the blues then, Oh, yeah, yeah, play it for Kings and Queens, Yeah, yeah, I'm a music man, I'm a rhythm machine......
