Beat Out the Rhythm on a Drum Songtext
von Marc Almond & Foetus

I′ll tell you why I want to dance
I like the sweetness in the music
But that ain't why I want to dance
It′s something in the thumping of the bass
The thump, thump, thumping of the music
Is all I need to start me off

Beat out that rhythm on a drum
Beat out that rhythm on a drum
Beat out that rhythm on a drum
And I don't need no tune at all
And I don't need no tune at all
Hey!


It′s a feeling deep inside my bones
It feels like 20 million tom toms
I know there′s 20 million tom toms
Deep inside my bones
I feel it beating in my heart
Then I get a kind of dream
And in my dream it kind of seems
There's one big heart in all the world
There ain′t but one big heart in all the world

Beat out that rhythm on a drum
Beat out that rhythm on a drum
Beat out that rhythm on a drum
There's one big heart in all the world
There′s one big heart in all the world

And now that heart is beating faster
And that's a rhythm I can dance to
I′m mighty glad I got a chance to
The one big heart is beating fast

Tomorrow morning let it rain
Tomorrow morning let it pour
Tonight we're in the group together
Ain't gonna worry about the weather
Gonna kick those troubles out the door


Beat out that rhythm on a drum
Beat out that rhythm on a drum
There′s one big heart in all the world
There′s one big heart in all the world
Beat out that rhythm
Beat out that rhythm
Beat out that rhythm
Beat out that rhythm
