AND THE BEAT GOES ON
(Leon F Sylvers / Stephen Preston Shockley / William B Shelby)

The Whispers
recorded 1979


And the beat goes on,
Just like my love, everlasting!
And the beat goes on,
Still moving strong, on and on!

Did you ever wonder
That to win, somebody's got to lose?
I might as well get over the blues!
Just like fishing in the ocean,
There'll always be someone new!
You did me wrong, 'cause I've been through stormy weather.

And the beat goes on,
Just like my love, everlasting!
And the beat goes on, better believe it!
Still moving strong, on and on!

Don't stop for nobody,
This time I'll keep my feet on solid ground,
Now I understand myself when I'm down.
Like the sweet sound of hip music,
There'll always be something new
To keep the tables turning.
Hey, this super song,
There'll never be an ending!

And the beat goes on,
Just like my love, lasting!
And the beat goes on,
Still moving strong, on and on!
The beat goes on,
The beat goes on,
The beat goes on,
The beat goes on,
The beat goes on,
The beat goes on.

Get down playing that fee,
Sure the beat is real!
The beat goes on!

And the beat goes on,
Just like my love, lasting!
And the beat goes on,
Still moving strong!
And the beat goes on,
And the beat goes on and on and on!
And the beat goes on...     <>
