Turn The Beat Around
Laura Branigan


Blow horns you sure sound pretty
Your bottom lips keep moving to the nitty gritty
when you hear the scratch of the guitars scratching
Then you know that rhythm carries all the action
Oh oh
Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it
Flute player, play your flute cause
I know that
you want to get jumping
But you see, I've made up my mind about
It's got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it
Cause when the guitar player starts playing with the syncopated rhythm
With the scratch, scratch, scratch
Makes me want to move my body, yeah yeah yeah!
And when the drummer starts beating that beat
Beating the outside beat with the syncopated rhythm
With the rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat on a drum
Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it
Love to hear it
Love to hear it
Love to hear it



(Move your feet when you feel the beat!)
