| You can hear the beat from night 'til morning
|
| You can see the beatnik mister get up a-yawning
|
| The rattle of the drums, it drives them crazy
|
| Laughing on the floor 'til they get hazy
|
| It’s the beat, it’s the beat
|
| It’s the beat of the big beat drum
|
| And you can hear it through the walls and through the ceiling
|
| It can give you that knocked down mixed up feeling
|
| Laughing around like a crazy frog
|
| Chanting out like a misused dog
|
| It’s the beat, it’s the beat
|
| It’s the beat of the big beat drum
|
| Keep on beating, boy
|
| Well you can hear the beat from night 'til morning
|
| You can see the beatniks get up a-yawning
|
| The rattle of the drums, it’s driving them crazy
|
| Laughing on the floor 'til they get hazy
|
| It’s the beat, I said the beat
|
| It’s the beat of the big beat drum
|
| It’s the beat, I mean the beat
|
| It’s the beat of the big beat drum
|
| The beat of the big beat drum
|
| Keep on beating boy, 'cause you know what I like |
