The Beat Goes On/Soul Bossa Nova lyrics

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain

La da da da dee, la da da da da

Charleston was once the rage, uh huh

History has turned that page, uh huh

The mini skirt's the current thing, uh huh

Teenybopper is a newborn king, uh huh

And the beat goes on

The beat goes on

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain

La da da da dee, la da da da da

The grocery store's a super mart, uh huh

Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh

Oh, well, the men still keep on marching off to war

Electrically they keep their baseball scores

And the beat goes on

The beat goes on

The beat goes on and on and on

And the beat goes on

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce

Boys still chasing girls to get a kiss

Well, the cars keep going faster

And faster all the time

A bum 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 da da da dee, la da da da da

And the beat goes on

The beat goes on

The beat goes on and on and on

And the beat goes on

And the beat goes on

The beat goes on

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain

La da da da dee, la da da da da
