Rhythm is our business
Rhythm is what we sell
Rhythm is our business
Business sure is swell

If you feeling blue, rhythm's what you need
If you got rhythm, you're sure to succeed
Rhythm is our business
Business sure is swell

He's the drummer man, in the band
(In the band)
Crosby beats on them drums, in the band
(In the band)
Aw, when he does tricks with the sticks
The boys in the band all play hot licks

He plays saxophone, in the band
(In the band)
Joe blows all that saxophone, in the band
(In the band)
Oh, when he goes up that scale
Dee-duh-baba-du-duh-duh-dee

Mose plays on the bass, in the band
(In the band)
Mose plays all that bass, in the band
(In the band)
Now when he picks on those strings
Happiness to you he brings

Steve blows on the trumpet, in the band
(In the band)
Steve blows all that trumpet, in the band
(In the band)
Oh, he's the guy, hits 'em high
Makes you think he's in the sky

Oh, rhythm is our business
