The Beat Goes On:Sonny And Cher.
#6 in 1967.

CHORUS: (Capo 3rd fret for original.)
              
The beat goes on, the beat goes on.
                                
Drums keep pounding rhythm to the brain.
                          
La de da de de...la de da de da.

#1.

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 beat goes on, the beat goes on.
                                
Drums keep pounding rhythm to the brain.
                          
La de da de de...la de da de da.

#2.

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:
              
The beat goes on, the beat goes on.
                                
Drums keep pounding rhythm to the brain.
                          
La de da de de...la de da de da.

#3.

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:
              
The beat goes on, the beat goes on.
                                
Drums keep pounding rhythm to the brain.
                          
La de da de de...la de da de da.
