Eat to the Beat Lyrics
You gotta jump up ah to the beat uh
So stand up on your feet uh
Toes are tipper, tipper, tapping
Uh you do it, even when you're yapping
Hey you got a sweet tooth and I remember
Ah stand up on yer feet uh
Toes are tipper, tipper, tapping
Hey you got a sweet tooth
I remember, sitting in the kitchen eating peanut butter
Eat To The Beat!
Yeah you gotta, gotta, you got the beat uh
Ah sweeta, sweeya, you beat your meat uh
I know you do it, I know you do it
I seen you, seen you, seen you, seen you chewing
Hey you got a sweet tooth and I remember
A sweety treat, uh you beat yer meat uh
I know you do it I know you do it
Oh you got a sweet tooth
I remember standing on the corner with a piece of pizza
Eat To The Beat
Condition red
You gotta jump up ah to the beat uh
So stand up oh-on yer feet uh
Toes are tipper, tipper, tapping
You do it even when you're yapping
Oh you got a sweet tooth and I remember
I seen you seen you, you beat your meat Uh!
I know you do it I know you do it
Hey you got a tummy ache
I remember sitting in the bathroom drinking Alka Seltzer
Eat To The Beat
Eat To The Beat
Eat To The Beat
So stand up on your feet uh
Toes are tipper, tipper, tapping
Uh you do it, even when you're yapping
Hey you got a sweet tooth and I remember
Ah stand up on yer feet uh
Toes are tipper, tipper, tapping
Hey you got a sweet tooth
I remember, sitting in the kitchen eating peanut butter
Eat To The Beat!
Yeah you gotta, gotta, you got the beat uh
Ah sweeta, sweeya, you beat your meat uh
I know you do it, I know you do it
I seen you, seen you, seen you, seen you chewing
Hey you got a sweet tooth and I remember
A sweety treat, uh you beat yer meat uh
I know you do it I know you do it
Oh you got a sweet tooth
I remember standing on the corner with a piece of pizza
Eat To The Beat
Condition red

I remember sitting in the bathroom drinking Alka Seltzer
Eat To The Beat
Eat To The Beat
Eat To The Beat

this song is about eating to the beat.

The narrator's male friend is high, so he's got the munchies and he's also polishing his sword ("you beat your meat")

Yes, it's basically about wanking...and eating. Weird, but perfectly normal for Blondie.

how weird how cool

I had always liked the song, although it was well over a decade until I learned of the hidden meaning (masturbation). Still, it's a fun song. The whole album is pretty good really. I like the title track far better than "Dreaming", which was the single-release.
