Turn the Beat Around Songtext
von Vicki Sue Robinson

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, woah

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


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

Flute player play your flute 'cause
I know that you wanna get your thing off
But you see I've made up my mind ′bout 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

Turn the beat around (ooh, I′m talking 'bout the beat)
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion (love to hear the beat, na, na)
Love to hear it
Love to hear it
Love to hear it
Love to hear it


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

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

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