The Beat's Got a Hold on Me Lyrics
The beat's got a hold on me
Yes, I hear a symphony
Down through history
(Everywhere I go on the radio)
They say, "The beat's got a hold on me"
Here's a word to the wise
We've all been mesmerized
Joining in one by one
We're moving in unison
And you know that I've tried to leave it
I tell myself I don't need it
But then again the minute I hear it
It's a magnetic pull and I'm in the spirit
The cradle started to rock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one two three
Said, "The beat's got a hold on me"
From a mother's lullaby
Singing, "Hush, baby, don't you cry"
To every port of call, every dance hall
They say - Yeah
Sailors on the sea
Sang, "Nearer My God to Thee"
When they heard the trade winds blow
They sang, "Yo ho ho oh-oh"
Soldiers sang, "Here we come"
As they marched to the fife and drum
Thunder of boots on the ground
And the walls came tumbling down
Do the two-step
Do the twist
Shake your tail feathers
Do it like this
Play La Bamba
Play a tango
Play a requiem
'Cause I'm feeling low
Do the buck and wing
Do the stroll
Play a minuet
Play some rock and roll
Yes, I hear a symphony
Down through history
(Everywhere I go on the radio)
They say, "The beat's got a hold on me"
We've all been mesmerized
Joining in one by one
We're moving in unison
I tell myself I don't need it
But then again the minute I hear it
It's a magnetic pull and I'm in the spirit
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one two three
Said, "The beat's got a hold on me"
Singing, "Hush, baby, don't you cry"
To every port of call, every dance hall
They say - Yeah
Sang, "Nearer My God to Thee"
When they heard the trade winds blow
They sang, "Yo ho ho oh-oh"
As they marched to the fife and drum
Thunder of boots on the ground
And the walls came tumbling down
Do the twist
Shake your tail feathers
Do it like this
Play La Bamba
Play a tango
Play a requiem
'Cause I'm feeling low
Do the buck and wing
Do the stroll
Play a minuet
Play some rock and roll
