[Verse 1]
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-di-da-di-di
La-di-da-di-da
Wait 'til you have reached the age, blah-blah
History has turned the page, blah-blah
But we still wanna hear a brand new thing, uh-huh
We still need a song to sing, uh-huh

[Chorus]
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on

[Verse 2]
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-di-da-di-di
La-di-da-di-da
Love is the first thing, last thing on our minds
From tomorrow until the end of time

[Chorus]
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes
And the beat goes
And the beat goes on

[Verse 3]
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-di-da-di-di
La-di-da-di-da
We still move to a rhythm just like this
We still dream of sharing our first kiss

[Chorus]
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on

[Verse 4]
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-di-da-di-di
La-di-da-di-da
The world keeps turning faster every day (Every day)
We still wanna dance the night away

[Chorus]
And the beat goes on and on and on
And the beat goes on and on and on
And the beat goes on and on and on
And the beat goes on and on and on
And the beat goes on and on and on
And the beat goes on and on and on
