AND THE BEAT GOES ON . . .and ON . . .and ON
Today I was move by something to rewrite the lyrics to ‘The Beat Goes On’. The sounds of Sonny & Cher singing it still reverberates in my ears.
The beat goes on, the beat goes on.
Whiz Cards pounding Stems into the brain
La-de-dah-de-dee, La-de-dah-de-dah
DA and EMF were often played aha; History has turned the page aha
The Iphone is the current thing aha; bingo queens are the new born rage aha
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
Whiz Cards pounding Hooks into the brain
La-de-dah-de-dee, La-de-dah-de-dah
Clubs are like the Super Mart aha, bingo kings will break their hearts aha
Newbies keep on showing up to play, most don’t stay to play a second day.
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on.
Whiz Cards pounding words into the brain
La-de-dah-de-dee, La-de-dah-de-dah
Grey Hairs fool you if you sell them short,
Age don’t matter in cerebral sport.
We all keep learning faster all the time
Yet all those vowels still make players whine
The beat goes on, the beat goes on.
Whiz Cards pounding Anagrams to the brain
La-de-dah-de-dee, La-de-dah-de-dah
And beat goes on, yes beat goes on.
And the beat goes on and on and on and on.
