The beat goes on... The beat goes on
Drums keep pounding ryhthym to the brain

La da da da di, La da da da da

C7
Charleston was once the rage, uh-huh
History has turned a page, uh-huh
The mini skirts the current thing, uh-huh
Teeny bopper is our new born king, uh-huh

riff
And the beat goes on... The beat goes on

C7
The grocery store does supermart, uh-huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh-huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
'Lectrically they keep their baseball score

riff
And the beat goes on... The beat goes on

C7
Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
And cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still cry "Hey buddy have you got a dime"

riff
And the beat goes on... The beat goes on

And the beat goes on... Yes, the beat goes on
