Lyrics

We Got The Beat - Single Mix

[Verse 1]

See the people walking down the street

Fall in line just watching all their feet

They don't know where they wanna go

But they're walking in time

[Chorus 1]

They got the beat

They got the beat

They got the beat

Yeah they got the beat

[Verse 2]

See the kids just getting out of school

They can't wait to hang out and be cool

Hang around 'til quarter after twelve

That's when they fall in line

[Chorus 2]

They got the beat

They got the beat

Kids got the beat

Yeah kids got the beat

[Verse 3]

Go-go music really makes us dance

Do the pony, puts us in a trance

Do the watusi, just give us a chance

That's when we fall in line

[Chorus 3]

We got the beat

We got the beat

We got the beat

Yeah we got it!

[Outtro]

(We got the beat)

(We got the beat)

(We got the beat)

Everybody get on your feet

(We got the beat)

We know you can dance to the beat

(We got the beat)

Jumpin', get down

(We got the beat)

Round and round and round

(We got the beat)

We got the beat

(We got the beat)

We got the beat

(We got the beat)

We got the beat

(We got the beat)

We got the beat

(We got the beat, we got the beat)

We got the beat

(We got the beat, we got the beat)

We got the beat!
