- What are you studying?
- Psychology.
- And you, dear?
- Philosophy.
Well, don't take it too seriously,
- because I know a professor of great renown.
- Yes?
# And he is the loneliest man in town
Really?
# He's as smart as a man can be
# But he never has company
# Why is he the loneliest man in town?
Huh?
- # He ain't got rhythm
- Oh.
# Every night he sits in the house alone
- # Cos he ain't got rhythm
- Too bad.
# Every night he sits there and wears a frown
# He attracted some attention
# When he found the fourth dimension
# But he ain't got rhythm
so no one's with him
# The loneliest man in town
# A lonely man is he
- # Bending over his books
- He would.
# His wife and family
# Cos he ain't got rhythm
# When they call him up,
it's to call him down
# In the month of January
# He compiles his dictionary
# But he ain't got rhythm
so no one's with him
# The loneliest man in town
# He's lonely, he's lonesome
and he's all by his own-some
# The loneliest man in town
# I know every planet up in the sky
# I've measured them all with my naked eye
# And I've seen everything up in Mars
# I know all about falling stars
# But still I'm a very unhappy guy
# I wonder why
# You ain't got rhythm
# I can read the tea leaves in my cup
# But you ain't got rhythm
# And I just found out how high is up
# But you ain't got rhythm
# I discovered once while sober
# Where the flies go in October
# For what I found out about the fly
# I got the Nobel prize
# But you can't do the Charleston
# And you don't know
how to do the Black Bottom, the new rhythm
# Heaven, I see heaven
# Through my telescope while gazing
from Mount Wilson's highest peak
# I'll explain it all in Latin or in Greek
# But you're not so hot
# I've mastered relativity
# But when they ask it's liberty
- # They never think of asking me
- # Don't you wonder why?
# Cos you don't know how to do the rumba
# That's the reason you're a lonely guy
# Ah, love
# And so is Jupiter
# Jupiter's skipping from planet to planet
# Jumping Jupiter
# But you couldn't be stupider,
cos you ain't got rhythm
# Why, I discovered liquid air
- # But you ain't got rhythm
- # And I've a cure for falling hair
- # But you can't get hot
- What?
- # No, you can't get hot
- What?
# I'm a scientist to my fingertips
# But you can't do nothing with your hips
# That's the thing we miss
- You mean this?
- Yes!
# He's got it, he's got it,
he's got it, he's got it
# The man's got rhythm
Hello. Yes, Commodore.
Your father calling, Miss Mimi.
Yes, Father.
H- h-hello, Mimi?
Your explorer friend is late for dinner.
Where is he?
He's at the Flatbush Women's Club
lecturing on love life among the Eskimos.
Daddy dear,
I need a little pin money to go shopping.
Could you let me have about 50 or 60,000?
What did you do with the 73,000
I gave you last week?
- Oh, Daddy, if you're going to be like that.
- Shh!
Mr Sims, the famous Arctic explorer.
- Frederick, that's you.
- Me?
- Greetings, Commodore.
- Hello, commie.
Well, tell me, is everybody happy?
Where's Freda? Freda!
Two years in the Arctic and they
make me an object of ridicule!
Besides, seals never followed me.
Commodore, I want you to meet
Dr Cotzopole, who discovered the tadpole.
In this corner at 125, I want you to meet
Dr Matzopole, who discovered the maypole.
- Hi, Commodore. Hi. I'm fine.
- Wait a minute.
Gentlemen, may I present my daughter Mimi?
I have been thinking, and I have decided to
