I Am the Beat Lyrics

The Look is a one-hit-wonder UK band. This song dates from 1980.
The second note in the slash chords supplies the bass-line.
INTRO: D/// A/// E/// B/// (twice)
Girls are dancing all around and just for me
And the party wouldn't swing if not for me
I've made your hearts jump, I've caused the heat
I'm in demand - I am the beat.
I turned a girl into a heaving, senseless wreck
I made the captain of the ship dance off his deck
I've made the old man jump to his feet
I'm in demand - I am the beat.
MID-SECTION
All around the world the people love my name
In Heaven and Hell they know me too-oo-oo-oo-oo
Across the world the people love me now
I am the beat and I know you-oo-oo, you-oo-oo
You always listen to me on your radio
I taught Sinatra all he really needs to know
Who kept the lawman down on the street?
I'm in demand - I am the beat.
MID-SECTION
All around the world the people love my name
In Heaven and Hell they know me too
Across the world the people love me now
I am the beat and I know you, you...
When the Martian came to Earth, I made him dance...
Mr. Krupa had to thank me for his chance!
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 beat
beat
beat
beat (repeat to fade)
