[Chorus:]
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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?"
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|

The Beat Goes On
