| Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
|
| History has turned the page, uh huh
|
| Mini skirts, the current thing, uh huh
|
| Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh
|
| And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
|
| The grocery store’s the super mart, uh huh
|
| Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
|
| And men still keep on marching off to war
|
| Electrically they keep their baseball score
|
| And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
|
| Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
|
| Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
|
| Cars keep going faster all the time
|
| The bums still cry, «Hey buddy, have you got a dime?»
|
| And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
|
| Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
|
| Oh, drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
|
| The drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
|
| Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
|
| La de da de de, la de da de da |
