Lyrics

Beatbox

[Verse 1]

Nine-volt battery from Japan

It's got the beat

A little tape deck in my hand

It's so, so sweet

[Pre-Chorus]

Keeps me rocking round the clock

And I don't mind it

[Chorus]

I got the beatbox, the beatbox

Just a-beatin' that box

Beatbox, beatbox

Hey-hey-hey, yeah

[Verse 2]

These three 90s back to back

Jumpin' on that jack

Don't play with fire or unplug my wire

Beg or steal, it's not for hire

[Pre-Chorus]

Keeps me rocking round the clock

And I don't mind it 'cause

[Chorus]

I got the beatbox, a beatbox

Just a-beatin' that box

My beatbox, beatbox, beatbox

Hey-hey, yes

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Osaka, Forenza, Milano, Vesuvio

[Guitar Solo]

Dallas, Texas
