Turn the Beat Around

Turn the beat, turn the beat around
Turn the beat, turn the beat around
Won't you turn the beat, turn the beat around?
Turn the beat, turn the beat around

Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it

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
But when you hear the scratch
Of the guitars scratchin'
Then you know that rhythm
Carries all the action, whoa

Turn the beat around
(Turn it around, oh, yeah)
Love to hear percussion
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Turn it upside down
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Love to hear percussion
(My, my, my, my, my)

Turn the beat around
(Gotta hear it)
Love to hear percussion
(Move your feet when you feel the beat, yeah)
Turn it upside down
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Love to hear percussion
(Whoa)
Love it hear it

Flute player play your flute 'cause
I know that you wanna get your thing off
But don't you see
I've made up my mind about it?
It's got to be the rhythm
No doubt about it, whoa, whoa

When your guitar player starts playing
With the syncopated rhythm
With the scratch, scratch, scratch
Makes me wanna move my body
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And when the drummer
Starts beating that beat
Beatin' out that beat
With the syncopated rhythm
With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat
On the drums, hey

Turn the beat around
(Oh, I'm talkin' about the beat)
Love to hear percussion
(Oh, my, my, my, my, my)
Turn it upside down
(Oh, whoa, yeah)
Love to hear percussion
(Love to hear the beat now, now)
Love to hear it
Love to hear it
(Whoa)
Love to hear it
Love to hear it now

We're gonna turn, gonna turn
Gonna turn the beat around
Back to the music, the way it was
We're gonna turn, gonna turn
Gonna turn the beat around
Back to the music, the way it was

Turn the beat around
Turn the beat around
Turn the beat around
Turn it upside down

Turn the beat around
Turn the beat around
Turn the beat around
Turn it upside down
