Chorus:

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 ...



1) Gyro-spin 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.



Chorus: .....



2) 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.



Chorus: .....



3) Grandmas 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?"



Chorus: .....



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

And the beat goes on ..... (And the beat goes on and on and on and ...)

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

(Repeat and fade)
