This song is from the Broadway Musical "Sweet Charity" with

mixed choral work. With the playful melody and smart rhythm,
the writer of the song wished to bring the happiness in music to
every audiences and singers, hoping that they can dance along with the music that the city will be surrounded with excitement.
Let us leave our worries and strife!

此曲源自於百老匯音樂劇 “Sweet Charity” ，並由Richard Barnes 編寫成混聲四部合唱版本。歌曲節奏分明，且旋律生動有趣。
作者希望歌者將音樂的樂趣帶到身邊的每一個人，令他們身體中每一個關節都因音樂而躍動起來，整個城市都要圍繞著音樂帶來的喜悅。
就讓我們懷著這愉快的心情，忘掉一切煩惱和爭吵，開始追逐我們的夢想。


LYRICS:

When I started down the street last Sunday,
Feelin' mighty low and kinda mean,
Suddenly a voice said, "Go forth, neighbor!
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!
