THE BEAT GOES ON
Sonny & Cher


The beat goes on, the beat goes on 
Drums keep pounding rhythm to the brain 
La da, da, da di, la da, da, da, da 
Mm, Charlton was once the rage, uh-huh 
History has turned a page, uh-huh 
The miniskirt's the current thing, uh-huh 
Teenybopper is our new-born king 

The grocery store's super mart, uh-huh 
Little girls still break their hearts, uh-huh 
And men still keep on marching off to war 
'Lectrically they keep a baseball score 
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on 

Grandma's sit in chairs and reminisce 
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss 
The cars keep a-going faster all the time 
Bums still cry, "hey buddy, have you got a dime?"
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on (2x)

Drums keep pounding rhythm to the brain 
La da, da, da, di, la, da, da, da, da 
And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on (2x)
