| repeating |

The beat goes on... The beat goes on

Drums keep pounding ryhthym to the brain

La da da da di, La da da da da

C7

Charleston was once the rage, uh-huh

History has turned a page, uh-huh

The mini skirts the current thing, uh-huh

Teeny bopper is our new born king, uh-huh

riff

And the beat goes on... The beat goes on

C7

The grocery store does supermart, uh-huh

Little girls still break their hearts, uh-huh

And men still keep on marching off to war

'Lectrically they keep their baseball score

riff

And the beat goes on... The beat goes on

C7

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce

Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss

And cars keep going faster all the time

Bums still cry "Hey buddy have you got a dime"

riff

And the beat goes on... The beat goes on

And the beat goes on... Yes, the beat goes on

(repeating to fade...)
