Turn the Beat Around

Blow horns, you sure sound pretty
Your violins keep movin' to the nitty-gritty
When you hear the scratch of the guitars scratchin'
Then you'll know that rhythm carries all the action, woah

Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it

Flute player, play your flute 'cause
I know you want to get your thing off
But you see, I've made up my mind about it
It's got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it, woah

And when the guitar player starts playing
That syncopated rhythm with the scratch, scratch, scratch
Makes you wanna move your body, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And when the drummer starts beating that beat
Beating out that beat with the syncopated rhythm and the
(Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat) of the drum, hey

Turn the beat around, turn it upside down
(Love to hear percussion) Woah, yeah
Turn it upside down, turn it all around
(Love to hear percussion) Woah, yeah
Love to hear it, love to hear it
Love to hear it, love to hear it, hey, hey

(Turn the beat around) Turn the beat around, turn it around
(Love to hear percussion) Let me hear it
(Turn it upside down) Around and 'round and 'round
(Love to hear percussion) Yeah, uh-huh, oh
(Love to hear it) Uh-huh

(Turn the beat around) Turn the beat around, turn it around
(Love to hear percussion) Woah

(Turn it upside down) Turn it upside down, turn it around
(Love to hear percussion) And 'round and 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round and 'round
Love to hear it, love to hear it, love to hear it

I'm talkin' 'bout the beat when you move your feet
(Turn the beat around) When you move your feet
Talkin' 'bout the beat when you move your feet
(Turn it upside down) Turn the beat around
Turn it upside down, turn the beat around
Turn it upside down
(Turn the beat around)
(Turn it upside down)
(Turn the beat around)
