Turn the Beat Around

Turn the beat around

Love to hear percussion

Turn it upside down

Love to hear percussion

Blow horns you sure sound pretty

Your violins keep movin' to the nitty gritty

When you hear the scratch of the guitar scratchin'

Then you'll know that the rhythm carries all the action, oh yeah

Turn the beat around (turn it around)

Turn it upside down (turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down)

Flute player play you're flute 'cause

I know that you want to get your thing off

But you see I've made up my mind about it

To me it is the rhythm, no doubt about it, woah, woah

'Cause when the guitar player starts playing

With the syncopated rhythm, with the scratch, scratch, scratch

Makes me want to move my body yeah, yeah, yeah

And when the drummer starts beating that beat

He nails that beat with the syncopated rhythm

With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, on the drums, hey

Turn the beat around (turn it 'roud and 'round and 'round)
