[Chorus:]
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain

La de da de de, la de da de da

Charleston was once the rage, uh huh

History has turned the page, uh huh
The mini skirts the current thing, uh huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh


[Chorus]


The grocery store's the super mart, 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

[Chorus]


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


[Chorus]
