The Beat Goes On (la) 4 instrumental The beat goes on, the beat goes on The beat goes on, the beat goes on Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La de da de dee, la de da de da Charleston was once the rage, uh huh History has turned the page, uh huh The miniskirt's the current thing, uh huh Teeny bopper is our newborn king, uh huh And the beat goes on, the beat goes on The beat goes on, the beat goes on Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La de da de dee, la de da de da The grocery store's the supermart, uh huh. Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh. And men still keep on marching off to war Electrically they keep a baseball score And the beat goes on, the beat goes on The beat goes on, the beat goes on Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La de da de dee, la de da de da Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss The cars keep going faster all the time Bums still cry, "Hey buddy, have you got a dime?" And the beat goes on, the beat goes on The beat goes on, the beat goes on Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La de da de dee, la de da de da And the beat goes on, yes the beat goes on...
