I heard it from a little bird Who gave me permission The smartest words I´ve ever heard That the beat goes on
Some girls, they need proof A real rude awakening To chase the dogs away And live to fight another day
´Cause the beat goes on When the fire´s gone
Oh, anything can sound absurd Depends on how you say it As long as you have the first word The rest is what you make it
Some boys don´t mean to A real rude awakening They know not what they say So chase the dogs away
Because the beat goes on (Yes it does, oh, yes it does) When the fire´s gone (When the fire´s gone, you know) When the lights go down (When the lights go down, go down) And the fun´s died out (Ooh-ooh)
