Switchin’ To Glide (This Beat Goes On)
Em (hammer)A(hammer)
Hey Judy, Get Trudy
You said to call you up
If I was feeling moody
Hey Little Donna
Aw, still wanna
You said to ring you up
When I was in Toronto
C , G
I have lots of friends
That I can ding at anytime
Can mobilize some laughs
With just one call
D, A
Like a bunch of lunatics
We'll act 'til way past dawn
D
Sure, we'll be rocking
G
'Til our strength is gone
D B Em(H), A(H)
Yeah, this beat goes on
And on and on and on
Em(H) A(H)
Hey ladies
Ooh, you crazy
Well, me and zero
Request you in the Mercedes
And then we'll ride, so zoomie inside
The sky's the limit
This time I'm switchin' to glide
C , G
I don't give a hoot
About what people have to say
I'm laughing as I'm analyzed
