I heard it from a little bird
Who gave me permission
The smartest words I've ever heard
That the beat goes on
Some girls, they need proof
A real rude awakening
To chase the dogs away
And live to fight another day
'Cause the beat goes on
When the fire's gone
Oh, anything can sound absurd
Depends on how you say it
As long as you have the first word
The rest is what you make it
Some boys don't mean to
A real rude awakening
They know not what they say
So chase the dogs away
Because the beat goes on (Yes it does, oh, yes it does)
When the fire's gone (When the fire's gone, you know)
When the lights go down (When the lights go down, go down)
And the fun's died out (Ooh-ooh)
I heard it from a little bird
Who gave me permission
The smartest words I've ever heard
That the beat goes on
Some boys don't mean to
A real rude awakening
They know not what they say
So chase the dogs away
Because the beat goes on (Yes it does, oh, yes it does)
When the fire's gone (When the fire's gone, you know)
When the lights go down (When the lights go down, go down)
And the fun's died out (Ooh-ooh)
