The Beat Goes On

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

Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
The miniskirt's, the current thing, uh huh
Tennybopper in our newborn king, uh huh

And the beat goes on, the beat goes on

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 the baseball score

And the beat goes on, the beat goes on

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
Cars just keep going faster all the time
A bum still cries, "Hey buddy, have you got a dime?"

And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
