And I wanted to check out the neighborhood
So, I got my girl up to make a date

She wanted to take me to the best of show
But all of a sudden, to my surprise
There was a red and white spaceship up in the sky
Then, just before we could turn around
The spaceship landed on the ground
Then, three little men 'bout four feet high
They got out the ship and they went inside
We arrived on the scene and began to groove
The sounds were hot and they made us move
Everyone was rockin' and shakin' their head
Except three spacemen, who came up and said
[Pre-Chorus]
Standing on the dance floor, waving at a disco babe
Music is groovy, but the beat just keeps me laying here
We came here to jam and groove but the beat won't make us move
We just want to know one thing— Where's the beat?
[Chorus]
Where's the beat?
Where's the beat? (Ahh, ya)
[Bridge]
Woah, huh
Ha-ha-ha

[Interlude]
Hey, boss
Oh, boss, what is that?
That's an earthling girl
Yeah, yeah
She is fresh, real fresh
[Chorus]
Where's the beat?
Where's the beat?
[Post-Chorus]
I don't think there's anyone back there but the drummer (Ahh, ya)
[Chorus]
Where's the beat?
Where's the beat?
[Outro]
Where's the beat?
Where's the beat?
Where's the beat?
Ha-ha-ha-ha, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know, we know
