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
