See the people walking down the street
 Fall in line just watching all their feet
 They don't know where they wanna go
 But they're walking in time

 They got the beat
 They got the beat
 They got the beat
 Yeah
 They got the beat

 All the kids just getting out of school
 They can't wait to hang out and be cool
 Hang around 'til quarter after twelve
 That's when they fall in line

 They got the beat
 They got the beat
 Kids got the beat
 Yeah
 Kids got the beat

 Go-go music really makes us dance
 Do the pony puts us in a trance
 Do the watusi just give us a chance
 That's when we fall in line

 We got the beat
 We got the beat
 We got the beat
 Yeah
 We got it

 We got the beat [x3]

 Everybody get on your feet
 (We got the beat)
 We know you can dance to the beat
 (We got the beat)
 Jumpin'-get down
 (We got the beat)
 Round and round and round

 We got the beat [x13]
