Turn The Beat Around

(Gloria Estefan)

Turn the beat around

Love to hear percussion

Turn it upside down

Love to hear percussion

Love to hear it

Blow horns you sure sound pretty

Your violins keep movin' to the nitty gritty

But when you hear the scratch of the guitar scratchin'

Tthen you'll know that rhythm carries all the action, so

Turn the beat around

Love to hear percussion

Turn it upside down

Love to hear percussion

Love to hear it

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 that you want to get your thing off

But you see I've made up my mind about it

To me it is the rhythm, no doubt about it, woah woah

'Cause when the guitar player starts playing

With the syncopated rhythm, with the scratch, scratch, scratch

Makes me wanna move my body, yeah, yeah, yeah

And when the drummer starts beating that beat

He nails that beat with the syncopated rythm

With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, on the drums, hey

Turn the beat around

Love to hear percussion

Turn it upside down

Love to hear percussion

Love to hear it

Turn the beat around

Love to hear percussion

Turn it upside down

Love to hear percussion

Love to hear it
