The Beat Goes On

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, ah-huh
 History has turned the page, ah-huh
 The miniskirt's the current thing, ah-huh
 Teenybopper is our newborn king, ah-huh
 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
 The grocery store's the super mart, ah-huh
 Little girls still break their hearts, ah-huh
 And men still keep on marching off to war
 Electrically, they keep a baseball score
 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
 Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
 Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
 The cars keep going faster all the time
 Bums still cries, "Hey buddy, have you got a dime?"
 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
 And the beat goes on (yes, the beat goes on)
 And the beat goes on (and the beat goes on, on, on, on, on)
 The beat goes on
 And the beat goes on
