| Love to hear percussion.

|
| Love to hear percussion.
|
| Love to hear it.
|
| Blow horns, you sure sound pretty!
|
| Your bottom lips keep moving to the nitty gritty.
|
| But when you hear the scratch of the guitars scratching.
|
| Then you know that rhythm carries all the action.
|
| Turn the beat around.
|
| Love to hear percussion.
|
| (Move your feet when you feel the beat!)
|
| Turn it upside down.
|
| Love to hear percussion.
|
| Love to hear it.
|
| Flute player, play your flute, cause
|
| I know that you want to get jumping.
|
| But you see, I’ve made up my mind about
|
| It’s got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it.
|
| Cause when the guitar player starts playing with the syncopated rhythm
|
| With the scratch, scratch, scratch
|
| Makes me want to move my body, yeah yeah yeah!
|
| And when the drummer starts beating that beat,
|
| Beating the outside beat with the syncopated rhythm
|
| With the rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat on a drum.
|
| Turn the beat around.
|
| Love to hear percussion.
|
| Turn it upside down.
|
| Love to hear percussion.
