The Beat Goes On (Live)

The beat goes on (goes), the beat goes on
Tell me all you dream about the beat boy
Tell 'em about it brother, don't leave it out

Drums keep pounding rhythm to the brain
La da, da, da di (yeah), la da, da, da, da
Mm, Charlton was once the rage, uh-huh (la da, da, da di)
History has turned a page, uh-huh (la da, da, da, da)
The miniskirts' a current thing, uh-huh
Teenybopper is our new-born king, uh-huh
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on

Oh look here
The grocery store's super mart, uh-huh (yes it is)
Little girls still break their hearts (hit it girl), uh-huh (honey i'm watching tv)
And men still keep on marching off to war (one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four)
'Lectrically they keep a basketball score

And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding rhythm to the brain (the brain)
La da, da, da di (common), la da, da, da, da

Grandma's sit in chairs and reminisce (the beat goes on)
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss (the beat goes on)
The cars keep a-going faster all the time (the beat goes on)
Bums still cry, "Hey buddy, have you got a dime?" (The beat goes on)

And the beat goes on (and on), and the beat goes on (and on)
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on (ouh)
Keep on the rhythm (on, and on)
Keep on the rhythm, yeah
Keep on the rhythm (on, and on), yeah
Enlighten those women (on, and on), yeah
Keep on grooving
