Turn The Beat Around
(Gerald Jackson/Peter Jackson)

Blow horns you sure sound pretty!
Your violins keep moving to the nitty gritty
But when you hear the scratch of the guitars scratchin'
Then you know that rhythm carries all the action 
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 you want to get your thing off
But you see, I made up my mind about 
It's got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it
wo oo oh
And when the guitar player starts playing that syncopated rhythm
With the scratch, scratch, scratch 
Makes you want to move your body, yeah yeah yeah!
And when the drummer starts beatin' that beat
Beatin' out that 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
