| History has turned that page, uh huh
|
| The mini skirt’s the current thing, uh huh
|

| The grocery store’s a super mart, uh huh
|
| Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
|

| And the beat goes on
|
| The beat goes on
|
| The beat goes on and on and on
|
| And the beat goes on
|
| Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
|

|
| Well, the cars keep going faster
|
| And faster all the time
|
| A bum still cries
|
| «Hey buddy, have you got a dime?»
|
| And the beat goes on
|
| The beat goes on
|
| Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
|
| La da da da dee, la da da da da
|
| And the beat goes on
|
| The beat goes on
|
| The beat goes on and on and on
|
| And the beat goes on
|
| And the beat goes on
|
| The beat goes on
|
| Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
