Drums keep pounding rhythm to the brain
La-dee-da-dee-dee
La-dee-da-dee-da

Wait till you have reached the age Blah blah
History has turned the page Blah blah
We still want to hear a brand new thing Uh huh
We still need a song to sing Uh huh

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

Drums keep pounding rhythm to the brain
La-dee-da-dee-dee
La-dee-da-dee-da
Love is a thirsting, lasting on our minds
From tomorrow until the end of time

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

Drums keep pounding rhythm to the brain
La-dee-da-dee-dee
La-dee-da-dee-da
We still move to a rhythm just like this
We still dream of sharing our first kiss

And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on

Drums keep pounding rhythm to the brain
La-dee-da-dee-dee
La-dee-da-dee-da
Well our kids are turning faster everyday (everyday)
We still want to dance the night away

And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on...

    General Comment:These are the original Sonny and Cher lyrics... I knew something was way off in Brit's version of the song... try all of it. This was one song that I couldn't even begin to defend her on, because the version she did just absolutely took away the entire point... wait til you have reached the age blah blah??? wtf?

    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 mini skirts the current thing, uh huh
    Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh

    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

    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

    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

    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"

    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

    General Comment:It was a Sonny and Cher song. And no, the lyrics are not particularly original or varying, but that wasn't really the point of the song to begin with. You have to look at the time period it was put out and what the song is talking about.

    General Comment:it's not cher completely, this is a cover of the all seeing i (&jarvis cocker) track with the same name (which indeed has the hook taken from the original cher track). altho jarvis cocker's vocals on the track sounds better than britney's

    General Comment:'I suppose that the budget for the lyrics was very slim... Or the writer lost control of the copy-paste command on the computer'

    found this on a site - it made me laugh

    General Comment:Sonny and Cher's version was sooo much better than Britney's cover! She makes this song sound awfullike every other cover she has tried to do. (I Can't Get No... and I Love Rock And Roll)
