     The beat goes on... The beat goes on
     Drums keep pounding ryhthym to the brain

     La dada dadi, (xx0232@1)La dada dada

     C7 (x32310@1)    Charleston was once the rage, uh-huh
     History has turned a page, uh-huh
     The mini skirts the current thing, uh-huh
     Teeny bopper is our new born king, uh-huh

                       riff
     And the beat goes on... The beat goes on

     C7 (x32310@1)    The grocery store does supermart, uh-huh
     Little girls still break their hearts, uh-huh
     And men still keep on marching off to war
     'Lectrically they keep their baseball score

                       riff
     And the beat goes on... The beat goes on

     C7 (x32310@1)    Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
     Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
     And cars keep going faster all the time
     Bums still cry "Hey buddy have you got a dime"

                       riff
     And the beat goes on... The beat goes on

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