Herbie Mann - The Beat Goes On lyrics

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]
