Turn the Beat Around Songtext
von Gloria Estefan

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down (down, down, down)
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down (down, down)
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down (down, down)
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down (down, down)

Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it

Blow horns you sure sound pretty
Your violins keep movin′ to the nitty gritty
When you hear the scratch of the guitars scratchin'
Then you′ll know that rhythm carries all the action, so
Whoa yeah

Turn the beat around (Turn it around)
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down (turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down)
Love to hear percussion (yeah)
Love to hear it (let's hear it)


Turn the beat around (round, round, round, round, round, round)
Love to hear percussion (move your feet when you feel the beat, yeah)
Turn it upside down (woah yeah)
Love to hear percussion (woah)
Love to hear it

Flute player play your flute 'cause
I know that you want to get your thing on
But you see I′ve made up my mind about it

It′s 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 yeah

Turn the beat around (turn it around and around)
Love to hear percussion (oh yeah)
Turn it upside down (ooh yeah)
Love to hear percussion (now, now, now, now)

Love to hear it (yeah)
Love to hear it (woo)
Love to hear it (woah)
Love to hear it (hey yeah)


Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down

Turn the beat around (turn the beat around)
Love to hear percussion (turn the beat around)
Turn it upside down (hey yeah)
Love to hear percussion (now, now, now, now)

Turn the beat around (hey yeah)
Love to hear percussion (move your feet when you feel the beat)
Turn it upside down (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Love to hear percussion

Turn the beat around (turn the beat around)
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down (turn it upside down)
Love to hear percussion
