The beat goes on melody
Esther sings it at the "This is Tom Jones" show of 1969 and in the German tv Show "Esther Color" of 1970.

The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-dee-da-dee-dee
La-dee-da-dee-da
Charleston was once the rage
Uh-huh
History has turned a page
Uh-huh
The maxiskirt's the current thing
Uh-huh
Teenie bopper is our new born king
Uh-huh
And the beat goes on, yeah the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-dee-da-dee-dee
La-dee-da-dee-da
The grocery store's the supermart
Uh-huh
Little girls still break their hearts
Uh-huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
Electrically they keep a baseball score.
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-dee-da-dee-dee
La-dee-da-dee-da
Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
Life keeps going faster all the time
Bums still cry 'Hey buddy have you got a dime'
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-dee-da-dee-dee
La-dee-da-dee-da
The beat goes on and on and on...
