Patricia Barber - The Beat Goes On lyrics

And 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 miniskirt's, the current thing, uh huh Tennybopper in our newborn king, uh huh And the beat goes on, the beat goes on The grocery store's the supermart, uh huh Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh And men still keep on marching off to war Electrically, they keep the baseball score And the beat goes on, the beat goes on Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss Cars just keep going faster all the time A bum still cries, "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
