Hey Judy, get Trudy
You said to call you up if I was feeling moody
Hey little Donna, Mmmmm.....still wanna
You said to ring you up when I was in Toronto
C G
I have many friends that I can ding at any time
C G
Can mobilize some laughs with just one call
D A
Like a bunch of lunatics we'll act till way past dawn
D G
Sure we'll be rockin' till our strenght is gone
D B E (return to inrto riff)
Yeah this beat goes on!
and on....and on....and on.
Hey ladies, Oooo....you crazies
Me and Zero request you in the Mercedes
I think we'll ride, so zoomy inside
The skies the limit, this time I'm switchin to glide
C G
I don't give a hoot about what people have to say
C G
I'm laughing as I'm analyzed
D A
Lunatics anonymous that's where I belong
D G
Sure cause I'm one, till my strenght is gone
D B E (return to intro riff)
Yeah this beat goes on!
and on....and on....and on.
(short keyboard solo) 1 measure
I have lots of friends that I can ding at any time
Can mobilize some laughs with just one call
Like a bunch of lunatics we'll act till way past dawn
Sure we'll be rockin, till our strenght is gone
Yeah this beat goes on!
And on....and on....and on.... x16
This beat goes on!
D A E x4 E
Nothing matters but the weekend D D A
From a Tuesday point of view A A D
Like a kettle from in the kitchen D D A
E
I feel the steam begin to brew
Switchin to glide A E D
Switchin to glide A E D
Switchin to glide A E D
Switchin to glide A E D
Energy can be directed D D A
I'm turning it up, I'm turning it down A A D
Even love can be affected D D A
E
Harmony's the sweetest sound
Switchin to glide A E D x4
D E
Balancing on my head
D
Inside of me
E
Taking the glide path instead
Everybody gets A no, no D D A
Hear it ringing in they ears A A D
Lots of ways that you can go, go D D A
E
Look around no disappears
Switchin to glide A E D x4
