E MajorE            A/C#A/C#   F#/Bb  BB
 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.

VERSE 2

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.

You always listen to me on your radio,
 I taught your body all it really needs to know
 Who kept the lawman down on the street?
 I'm in demand - I am the beat.

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?
