Words and music by Josh Max
It's The Beat That Gets You
Why am I such a slave
To music and all its wonder?
Why was I born to crave
The spell that it puts me under?
It's not the melodies
It's not the words that win me
What gets me weak in the knees
Is the beat when I feel it in me
It's the beat that gets you
It's the beat that gets you
It's the swing and sway
Takes me away
It's the beat that gets you
It's the beat that gets you
Badda boom, badda bing
Dance and sing to the beat
Let it move ya
It will improve ya
Let it groove ya
From your head to your feet
Armies can march 50 miles
Lovers can swing for hours
In dozens of different styles
Slaves to the rhythm's powers
Music is in the air
From the farms to the streets of the city
And why do we care?
Why does it make us giddy?
