[Intro]
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-dee-da-dee-dee
La-dee-da-dee-da

[Verse 1]
Wait 'til you have reached the age, blah blah
History has turned the page, blah blah
We still wanna hear a brand new thing, uh huh
We still need a song to sing, uh huh

[Pre-Chorus]
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on

[Chorus]
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-dee-da-dee-dee, la-dee-da-dee-da
Love is the first and last thing on our minds
From tomorrow 'til the end of time

[Pre-Chorus]
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes
And the beat goes
And the beat goes on

[Chorus]
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-dee-da-dee-dee, la-dee-da-dee-da
We still move to a rhythm just like this
We still dream of sharing our first kiss

[Pre-Chorus]
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on

[Chorus]
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-dee-da-dee-dee, la-dee-da-dee-da
The world keeps turning faster everyday (Everyday)
We still wanna dance the night away

[Pre-Chorus]
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
And the beat goes on

Britney Spears

Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is an American singer and actress. Born in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, she performed acting roles in stage productions and television shows as a child before signing with Jive Records in 1997.

Spears’s first and second studio albums, …Baby One More Time and Oops!… I Did It Again, became international successes, with the former becoming the best-selling album by a teenage solo artist. Title tracks “…Baby One More Time” and “Oops!… I Did It Again” broke international sales records, with the former reaching number one in every country it charted in. In 2001, Spears released her self-titled third studio album, Britney, and played the starring role in the film Crossroads (2002). She assumed creative control of her fourth studio album, In the Zone, which yielded the worldwide success of the single “Toxic.”

In 2007, Spears’s much-publicized personal issues sent her career into hiatus. Her fifth studio album, Blackout, was released later that year, and spawned hits such as “Gimme More” and “Piece of Me”.
