The Beat Goes On

The beat goes on, the beat goes on

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain

La-dee-da-dee-dee

La-dee-da-dee-da

Charleston was once the rage

Uh-huh

History has turned a page

Uh-huh

The maxiskirt's the current thing

Uh-huh

Teenie bopper is our new born king

Uh-huh

And the beat goes on, yeah the beat goes on

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain

La-dee-da-dee-dee

La-dee-da-dee-da

The grocery store's the supermart

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.

The beat goes on, the beat goes on

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain

La-dee-da-dee-dee

La-dee-da-dee-da

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce

Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss

Life keeps going faster all the time

Bums still cry 'Hey buddy have you got a dime'

The beat goes on, the beat goes on

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain

La-dee-da-dee-dee

La-dee-da-dee-da

The beat goes on and on and on...
