And the beat goes on

The beat goes on

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain

La de da de de

La de da de da

Charleston was once the rage

History has turned the page

Miniskirt's current thing

Tenny bopper in our newborn king

And the beat goes on the beat goes on

The grocery store's the supermart

Little girls still break their hearts

Men and just keep on marching off to war

Electrically they keep the 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 just keep going faster all the time

A bum still cries

Hey buddy have you got a dime

And the beat goes on

The beat goes on

And the beat goes on

The beat goes on

And the beat goes on

The beat goes on

And the beat goes on

The beat goes on
