Turn the beat around

Love to hear the percussion

Turn it upside down

Love to hear the percussion

Blow horns you sure sound pretty

Your violins keep movin to the nitty gritty

When you hear the scratch of the guitars scratchin

Then youll know that rhythm carries all the action, woah

Flute player play your flute cause

I know that you want to get your thing off

But you see Ive made up my mind about it

Its got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it, woah, woah

Cause when the guitar player start playing

With the syncopated rhythm, with the scratch, scratch, scratch

Makes me wanna move my body, yeah, yeah, yeah

And when the drummer starts beating that beat

He nails that beat with the syncopated rhythm

With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat on the drums, hey

He nails that beat with the syncopated rhythm

With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat on the drums, hey
