The Beat Goes On / Feelin' Groovy

La-dee-da-dee-dee, la-dee-da-dee-da
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-dee-da-dee-dee, la-dee-da-dee-da

The Charleston was once the rage, uh-huh
History has turned a page, uh-huh
The miniskirt's the current thing, uh-huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh-huh

And the beat goes on
The beat goes on

The grocery store does supermart, uh-huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh-huh
And men still keep on marchin' off to war
Electrically, they keep their baseball score

And the beat goes on
The beat goes on

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep goin' faster all the time
Bums still cry, "Hey buddy, have you got a dime?"

And the beat goes on
The beat goes on

Slow down, you move too fast
You gotta make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doodoo

Hello lamppost, whatcha knowin'?
I've come to watch your flowers growin'
Ain't you got no rhymes for me?
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, feelin' groovy
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me
Life, I love ya, all is groovy
Oh, life, I love ya, all is groovy

La-dee-da-dee-dee, feelin' groovy
The beat goes on
The beat goes on (the beat goes on)
The beat goes on (feelin' groovy)
The beat goes on (the beat goes on)
The beat goes on (feelin' groovy)
The beat goes on (the beat goes on) (the beat goes on)
The beat goes on (feelin' groovy)

The beat goes on (the beat goes on) (the beat goes on)
The beat goes on (feelin' groovy)
The beat goes on (the beat goes on) (the beat goes on)
The beat goes on (feelin' groovy)
The beat goes on (the beat goes on) (the beat goes on)
The beat goes on (feelin' groovy)
The beat goes on (the beat goes on) (the beat goes on)
The beat goes on (feelin' groovy)
