Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
La de da de de, la de da de da
Bums still cries, "Hey buddy, have you got a dime?"
The grocery store's the supermart, uh huh
The miniskirt's the current thing, uh huh
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
History has turned the page, uh huh
Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
The cars keep a going faster all the time
La de da de de, la de da de da
And men still keep on marching off to war
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
Electrically they keep a baseball score
Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
And the beat goes on, beat goes on
La de da de de, la de da de da
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh
The beat goes on and the beat goes on
La de da de de, la de da de da
And the beat goes on, yes, the beat goes on
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
