就爱听这声音

Blow horns, you sure sound pretty

吹响喇叭，多么动听

Your violins keep movin' to the nitty gritty

你的小提琴也随之舞动

When you hear the scratch of the guitars scratchin'

当你听到吉他的拨弦声

Then you'll know that rhythm carries all the action, woah

你就会知道节奏带动一切，哇喔

Turn the beat around (turn it around)

But you see I've made up my mind 'bout it

With the syncopated rhythm, with the scratch, scratch, scratch

And when the drummer starts beating that beat

With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat on the drums, hey
