- 12/8 (compound quadruple metre)
- Frequent syncopation in vocal line and instrumental countermelodies
- Time signature is ambiguous, sometimes feels 6/8
- Shaker and Hi-Hat play on every 2 beats, giving more of a triple time feel
- Hi-Hat creates cross-rhtyhms
- When voice enters, it sings with a characteristic lilting rhythm, continuing ambiguity of time signature
- In instrumental, instruments emphasise 2nd and 5th beats, adding rhythmic interest
- Mainly uses quavers, semiquavers, dotted crotchets, creating a syncopated rhythm with the use of rests in the accompaniement parts
