The Beat Goes On

And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
La de da de de, la de da de da
And men still keep on marching off to war

Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
The cars keep a going faster all the time
La de da de de, la de da de da
Electrically they keep a baseball score
Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh
La de da de de, la de da de da
Bums still cries, "Hey buddy, have you got a dime?"
The miniskirt's the current thing, uh huh
The grocery store's the supermart, uh huh
And the beat goes on, beat goes on

And the beat goes on, yes, the beat goes on

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on

History has turned the page, uh huh
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
La de da de de, la de da de da

The beat goes on and the beat goes on
