The Beat Goes On:Sonny And Cher. #6 in 1967. 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. #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. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
