We Got the Beat Lyrics
[RACHEL]
See the people walkin' down the street
Fall in line just watchin' all their feet
They don't know where they wanna go
They're walkin' in time
[RACHEL & NEW DIRECTIONS]
They got the beat
They got the beat
They got the beat
Yeah, they got the beat
[SANTANA]
All the kids just gettin' out of school
They can't wait to hang out and be cool
Hang around 'til quarter after twelve
That's when they fall in line
[SANTANA & NEW DIRECTIONS]
They got the beat
They got the beat
Kids got the beat
Yeah, kids got the beat
[BRITTANY]
Go-go music really makes us dance
Do the pony, puts us in a trance
Do what you see, just give us a chance
That's when we fall in line
See the people walkin' down the street
Fall in line just watchin' all their feet
They don't know where they wanna go
They're walkin' in time
[RACHEL & NEW DIRECTIONS]
They got the beat
They got the beat
They got the beat
Yeah, they got the beat
[SANTANA]
All the kids just gettin' out of school
They can't wait to hang out and be cool
Hang around 'til quarter after twelve
That's when they fall in line
[SANTANA & NEW DIRECTIONS]
They got the beat
They got the beat
Kids got the beat
Yeah, kids got the beat
[BRITTANY]
Go-go music really makes us dance
Do the pony, puts us in a trance
Do what you see, just give us a chance
That's when we fall in line
[BRITTANY & NEW DIRECTIONS]
