VERSE 1
/
Girls are dancing all around and just for me
/
And the party wouldn t swing if not for me.
I ve made your hearts jump, I ve caused the heat,
I m in demand - I am the beat.
VERSE 2
I turned a girl into a heaving, senseless wreck,
I made the captain of the ship dance off his deck.
I ve made the old man jump to his feet,
I m in demand - I am the beat.
MID-SECTION
All around the world the people love my name
In Heaven and Hell they know me too-oo-oo-oo-oo
Across the world the people love me now
I am the beat and I know you-oo-oo, you-oo-oo
VERSE 3
You always listen to me on your radio,
I taught your body all it really needs to know
Who kept the lawman down on the street?
I m in demand - I am the beat.
MID-SECTION
All around the world the people love my name,
In Heaven and Hell they know me too,
Across the world the people love me now,
I am the beat and I know you, you...
VERSE 4
When the Martian came to Earth, I made him dance...
Mr. Krupa had to thank me for his chance!
Who made the zombies all tap their feet?
I m in demand - I am the beat.
I m in demand... I m in demand
I m in demand I am the beat
beat
beat
beat (repeat to fade)
