The beat goes on,

Drums keep pound ing rhy thm to the brain.

The Char les ton was once the rage, uh huh.
His to ry has turned a page, uh huh.
The min i skirt’s the cur rent thing, uh huh.
Teen y bop per is our new dy, born you king, uh huh.
And the beat goes on,
the beat goes on.
Drums keep pound ing rhy thm to the brain.
La da da da di.
La da da da da.
The gro c’ry store does su per mart, uh huh.
Lit tle girls still break their hearts, uh huh.
And men still keep on march ing off to war.
’Lec tric ’ly per they our keep dy, their you base ball score.
And the beat goes on, dime?”
