The beat goes on
The beat goes on
Drums keep poundin' a rhythm to the brain
La di da di dee, la di da di dah

Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned a page, uh huh
The mini skirt's the current thing, uh huh
Teey-bopper is our new born king, uh huh

And the beat goes on
The beat goes on
The drums keep poundin' a rhythm to the brain
La di da di dee, la di da di dah

The grocery store, the super-mart, uh huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
And men still keep on marchin' off to war
Electrically they keep a baseball score.

And the beat goes on
The beat goes on
Drums keep poundin' a rhythm to the brain
La di da di dee, la di da di dah

Grandma's sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep'a goin' faster all the time
Bum still cries, Hey buddy, have you got a dime

And the beat goes on
The beat goes on
Drums keep poundin' a rhythm to the brain
La di da di dee, la di da di dah

And the beat goes on 
Yes, the beat goes on
And the beat goes on 
And the beat goes on, on. on...
And the beat goes on.....
