Sonny & Cher - The Beat Goes On - 1967

The beat goes on
The beat goes on
Drums keep poundin' a
rhythm to the brain
La-de-da-de-dee
La-de-da-de-da

Charleston was once the
rage, uh-huh
History has turned a page,
uh-huh
The mini skirt's the current
thing, uh-huh
Teenybopper is our newborn
king, uh-huh

And the beat goes on
The beat goes on
Drums keep poundin' a
rhythm to the brain
La-de-da-de-dee
La-de-da-de-da

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

And the beat goes on
The beat goes on
Drums keep poundin' a
rhythm to the brain
La-de-da-de-dee
La-de-da-de-da

Grandmas sit in chairs and
reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to
get a kiss
The cars keep a-goin' faster
all the time
Bum still cries, "Hey buddy,
have you got a dime"

And the beat goes on
The beat goes on
Drums keep poundin' a
rhythm to the brain
La-de-da-de-dee
La-de-da-de-da

And the beat goes on
Yes, the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
on, on

Last two comments were from 16 & 19 year olds...I'm 15 and a seriously LOVE Cher & that...I've listened to this stuff since I was tiny.

Does anyone of the right age actually come one here?!

I grew up with this music, me and my brother listened to this on Vinyl when I was 5 and he was 9. It's almost like we grew up in the wrong time, because I'm only 19 now :D and He's 22
