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 daCharleston was once the rage, uh huhHistory has turned that page, uh huh
The mini skirt's the current thing, uh huh
Teenybopper is a newborn king, uh huhAnd 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 daThe 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 scoresAnd the beat goes on
The beat goes on
The beat goes on and on and on
And the beat goes onGrandmas 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 dimeAnd 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 daAnd the beat goes on
The beat goes on
The beat goes on and on and on
And the beat goes onAnd 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
