Take A Little Rhythm
Ali Thomson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[CHORUS]
Take a little rhythm
Take a little of that
Sweet, sweet music
You got to take a little rhythm
And put it in your heart
If your tidy life
Seems uncertain
And you don't know
Which way to go
Ooh, your dream is over
Confusion starts to show
Just sit back and
Let the music flow
[Repeat CHORUS 2x]
Seems like madness
Is everywhere
Only noise and mayhem
Fill the air
Ooh, your body's hurting
And your mind is slow
Just sit back
And let the music flow
[Repeat CHORUS 2x]
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Take it, take it
Take it and put it
In your heart

Take a little rhythm
Incorporate some melody
Take a little of that
Absorb some of that energy
Sweet, sweet music
Pleasant sounds to hear
You got to take a little rhythm
You must perceive some beat
And put it in your heart
And embrace it within
If your tidy life
When your existence
Seems uncertain
Is now unpredictable
And you don't know
And you are clueless
Which way to go
What course to take
Your dream is over
Your aspiration's ended
Confusion starts to show
Disorientation materializes
Just sit back and
Relax and
Let the music flow
Allow some sounds to come in
Seems like madness
It looks like insanity
Is everywhere
Populates everyplace
Only noise and mayhem
Only clamor and disorder
Fill the air
Occupy the atmosphere
Your body's hurting
Your physique is aching
And your mind is slow
And your thinking is sluggish
Just sit back
Just unwind
And let the music flow
Allow some sounds to come in
Take it, take it
Receive it, Receive it
Take it and put it
Absorb it and include it
In your heart
Inside of you

One of the greatest tunes of all time - they don't make them like this anymore!!🎶
@markv3547
Nope!
@marshalllancaster2314
Right, not even close
@christopherpope3415
This was a big A/C hit that played throughout the summer of 1980 and had a fairly strong Top 40 chart cross as well. It just got "lost" from the air though once it peaked and seemed gone for good within a year or so.

Magical song

I hadn't heard this tune for decades until this past weekend I heard it on the radio. All this time I thought it was Paul McCartney. I love this tune.

Awesome to find a tune that was forgotten for many years but after a few notes it all floods back!
@AnneBibby1966
Funny how that happens, it can be decades and in a snap we know every word.
