Love to hear percussion
Turn the beat around
I know you want to get your thing off
Love to hear percussion
But you see, I've made up my mind about it
With the scratch, scratch, scratch
Turn it upside down
With the rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat of a drum, hey
Love to hear percussion
And when the drummer starts beatin' that beat
And when the guitar player starts playing
Love to hear percussion
It's got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it
That syncopated rhythm
Turn it upside down
Then you know that rhythm carries all the action
Love to hear it, love to hear it
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Turn it all around
Love to hear it
Flute player, play your flute, 'cause
Turn it upside down
But when you hear the scratch of the guitars scratchin'
Love to hear it, love to hear it
Turn the beat around
Love to hear it
Love to hear it
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear percussion
Turn the beat around
Makes you want to move your body, yeah yeah yeah
Turn it upside down
Turn it upside down
Turn the beat around
Turn the beat around
Love to hear it, love to hear it
Love to hear percussion
Turn the beat around
Beatin' out that beat with the syncopated rhythm
