Girls are dancing all around them just for me
And the party wouldn't swing if not for me
I've made you hearts jump, I've caused a heat
I'm in demand I am the beat
I've turned a girl into a heaving senseless wreck
Made the captain of a ship dance off his deck
I've made the old man jump to his feet
I'm in demand I am the beat
All round the world the people know my name
In heaven and hell they know me too
Across the world the people know me now
I am the beat and I know you
You always listen to me on your radio
I'll bet your buddy all he really needs to know
And who kept the lawman down on the street
I'm in demand I am the beat
All round the world the people know my name
In heaven and hell they know me too
Across the world the people know me now
I am the beat and I know you
When the martian came to earth I made him dance
And Mr. Crooper had to thank me for his chance
And who made the zombies all tap their feet
I'm in demand I am the beat
I'm in demand
I'm in demand
I'm in demand I am the
I am the beat
beat (repeat to fade)
