The beat goes on, the beat goes on |
|
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain |
|
La, de, da, de, de, la, de, da, de, da |
|
Charleston was once the rage, uh, huh |
|
History has turned the page, uh, huh |
|
The mini skirts, the current thing, uh, huh |
|
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh, huh |
|
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on |
|
The drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain |
|
La, de, da, de, de, la, de, da, de, da |
|
The grocery store's the super mart, uh, huh |
|
Little girls still break their hearts, uh, huh |
|
And men still keep on marching off to war |
|
Electrically they keep a baseball score |
|
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on |
|
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain |
|
La, de, da, de, de, la, de, da, de, da |
|
Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce |
|
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss |
|
The cars keep going faster all the time |
|
Bums still cry "Hey buddy, have you got a dime" |
|
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on |
|
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain |
|
La, de, da, de, de, la, de, da, de, da |
|
And the beat goes on, yes, the beat goes on |
|
And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on, on, on |
|
And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on |
