The Beat Goes On Songtext / Lyric

See them talking on the corner

You'll see them every day

So many words, so many reasons

About the ship that sailed away

Was it something to do with business

Was it love that done them wrong

Always somebody else to blame it seems,

For the half chance been and gone

The beat goes on,

I say the beat goes on

The beat goes on



See them drinking in the corners,



Be amazed at what they say

They've all got their tears and stories

About the big one that got away

There are always so many reasons

Why they missed that place that day

Tales of woe and treason

About the ship that sailed away



Yeah, the beat goes on

I see them everyday,

And... the beat goes on
