Ain't Got Rhythm

Ain't Got Rhythm is a song Sung by Phineas Flynn and Swampy from Love Handel. The song describes Swampy's reasons for not wanting to be a part of a Love Händel reunion, with Phineas eventually winning him over. This song was sung in the Tri-State Area Public Library in the Phineas and Ferb episode "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together." The song is also on the Phineas and Ferb Soundtrack and is one of the creator's favorites. In "Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown", Ain't Got Rhythm was the 8th favorite song chosen by Phineas and Ferb fans and is the only song not to have Candace in it. Ain't Got Rhythm is also one of the eight songs that was re-released in the Phineas and Ferb Karaoke Soundtrack.

Lyrics
Phineas: So you're saying that you don't have rhythm

But listen what you're doing right there

With that stamp and a book

You've got a real nice hook

Sounds to me like you've got rhythm to spare

Swampy: I have no idea what you're talking about

I've got as much rhythm as that chair

What happened to me was a tragedy

But I don't have to be a millionaire

Look, I got a sweet deal going on here

I got all the books that I can read

All these sweet old ladies and this carpet from the 80's

What more could a librarian need?

Woman: Ssh!

Swampy: Besides, I ain't got rhythm

No, I ain't got rhythm

Said I ain't got rhythm

I ain't got rhythm

Phineas: You're kidding me right, y-you're kidding me

Don't you see what you were doing right then?

That's a wicked groove you were starting to move

Mister, you've got rhythm times ten

Swampy: I think perhaps that you're not listening

I find it tedious to repeat

It's no big crime,

I just can't keep time

I'm telling you I lost the beat

I don't need my face on t-shirts

Or hit a power-chord guitar

They were screaming my name

I guess it's a shame

But I don't need to be a rock star

Besides, I ain't got rhythm

No, I ain't got rhythm

Said I ain't got rhythm

I ain't got rhythm

I ain't got rhythm

Phineas: Sounds like rhythm to me

Swampy: No, I ain't got rhythm

Phineas: Seems like they all agree

Swampy: Said I ain't got rhythm

Phineas: But you're laying down some funky syncopation!

Swampy: I ain't got rhythm

Phineas: But you got that beat

Swampy: No, I ain't got rhythm

Phineas: Look at them, they're stomping their feet

Swampy: Said I ain't got rhythm

Phineas: It's time for you to rock a brand new generation

Library patrons: Brand new generation

Phineas and Swampy: Gonna rock a brand new generation

Swampy: Because I ain't got rhythm!

Woman, spoken: Would you just go join the band?

Library patrons: Ain't got rhythm

Ain't got rhythm

Ain't got rhythm

Ain't got rhythm

Swampy: Hey, I got rhythm!

Note:On the soundtrack Phineas's first line "So you're saying that you don't have rhythm" changes to "You keep saying that you don't have rhythm". Also, it's a little slower.
