INTRO: D/ A/ E/ B/ (twice)

  VERSE 1

  E5                       A5     F#5    B5
  Girls are dancing all around and just for me
  E5                      A5     F#5   B5
  And the party wouldn't swing if not for me
  A5               Eb5    Ab5    C#5             E5
  I've made your hearts jump, I've caused the heat
  A5  E5   F#5           E5
  I'm in demand - I am the beat.

  VERSE 2

  I turned a girl into a heaving, senseless wreck
  I made the captain of the ship dance off his deck
  I've made the old man jump to his feet
  I'm in demand -  I am the beat.

  Across the world the people love me   now

  I am the beat and I know you-oo-oo, you-oo-oo

  VERSE 3

  You always listen to me on your radio
  I taught Sinatra all he really needs to know
  Who kept the lawman down on the street?
  I'm in demand - I am the beat.

  When the Martian came to Earth, I made him dance...
  Mr. Krupa had to thank me for his chance!
  Who made the zombies all tap their feet?
  I'm in demand -  I am the beat.

  I'm in   demand... I'm in   demand
  A5   E5   F#5            E5
