"Beat Goes On" lyrics - DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER

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
And 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
And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
