Turn the Beat Around
Robinson Vicki Sue Lyrics

Turn the beat around
Let's change up the rhythm and music to really get things going!

Love to hear the percussion
I really enjoy listening to the drums and other instruments that keep the rhythm going.

Turn it upside down
Let's really mix up the rhythm and try something new and exciting!

Blow horns you sure sound pretty
The sound of the horns is really beautiful and adds a lot to the music.

Your violins keep movin' to the nitty gritty
The violins add a lot of energy to the music and help keep the rhythm going strong.

When you hear the scratch of the guitars scratchin'
The guitar sound really adds a lot to the rhythm and creates a unique sound.

Then you'll know that rhythm carries all the action
The beat and rhythm of the music is what really drives the energy and excitement of the song.

Flute player play your flute 'cause
It's time for the flute to join in and add some more unique sounds to the music.

I know that you want to get your thing off
I can tell that the flute player really wants to show off their skills and add something special to the music.

But you see I've made up my mind about it
I've already decided that the rhythm is most important and that's what we need to focus on.

It's got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it, woah woah
There's no question that the rhythm is what's most important and what we really need to focus on.

'Cause when the guitar player start playing
The guitar is a really important part of the music and really adds to the rhythm.

With the syncopated rhythm, with the scratch, scratch, scratch
The guitar creates a unique sound with its syncopated rhythm and scratching sounds.

Makes me want to move my body yeah, yeah, yeah
The music is so good that it makes me want to dance and move my body along with the rhythm.

And when the drummer starts beating that beat
The drummer is instrumental in keeping the rhythm strong and exciting.

He nails that beat with the syncopated rhythm
The drummer really knows how to hit the beat right on with the unique syncopated rhythm.

With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat on the drums, hey
The sound of the drums is so great with its quick, rhythmic beat.

Love to hear it
Overall, I really love listening to the music and the beat and rhythm keep me really excited.

Turn the beat around, ooh
Let's keep changing up the rhythm and trying new things to really keep the music exciting and fresh.

Yeah
I'm really into the music and the beat right now.

Woah
The music is really strong and intense right now.

Got to hear it
I really need to keep listening to the music and the beat to really get into it!
