One, two, three, four
Give me the beat, boys,
Give me the beat, boys.

Day after day i'm more confused
But i look for the light through the pouring rain.
You know, that's a game that i hate to lose,
I'm feeling the strain,
Ain't it a shame?

Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.

I'm beginning to think that i'm wasting time
And i don't understand the things i do.
Yeah, the world outside looks so unkind,
Now it's up to you to carry me through.

Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.

And when my mind is free
You know, the melody can move me.
And when i'm feeling blue,
The [bad word] through to soothe me, yeah.

Thanks for the joy you've given me,
I want you to know that i believe in the song.
The rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along,
You're making me strong.

Give me the beat, boys,
Give me the beat, boys. [bad word] on!

Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.

Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.

Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.

Give me the beat, boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.

Give me the beat, boy. [scat sing]

"that's cool, i'll just double that!"
