Keepin' Time Lyrics

You tap your feet to the backbeat

Rhythms that shadow melody minor

We tap our feet to the backbeat

Rhythms that shadow mellow D minor

Gonna hit it on the dime

Keep on keeping time

You wiggle your toes to the tempo that flows

Watching the world go by

We wiggle our toes to the tempo that flows

It's like ice cream and pie

But when it goes akimbo

Time jumps out the window

You snap your fingers to the beat that never lingers

No blues around your head

We snap our fingers to the beat that never lingers

No blues no blues he said

This ain't no pantomime

Keep on keeping time

You clap your hands to the cadence of the band

This meter syncopated

We clap our hands to the cadence of the band

An echo reverberated

Got to stick it like superglue

Et toi merci beaucoup

You're back and forth over here over there

Let's hop and holler til midnight

We're back and forth over here and there

It's just like dynamite

Keep on moving to this song

All night long

You're shaking and baking positive vibration

Got music in your soul

We're singing and swinging and shaking our bacon

Let it rock and let it roll

Like the horse that pulls the cart

The beat that's in your heart

You tap your feet to the backbeat

Rhythms that shadow melody minor

We tap our feet to the backbeat

Rhythms that shadow mellow D minor

Going to hit it on the dime

Keep on keeping time
