Lyrics[]

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down

Turn the beat around
Love to hear the percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear the percussion
Love to hear it

Blow horns, you sure sound pretty
Your violins keep moving to the nitty gritty
When you hear the scratch of the guitars scratching
Then you'll know that rhythm carries all the action
Whoa, yeah

Turn the beat around (Turn it around, yeah)
Love to hear the percussion (My, my, my, my, my)
Turn it upside down (Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down)
Love to hear the percussion (Yeah)
Love to hear it (Got to hear it)

Turn the beat around (Around, around, around, around, around, around)
Love to hear the percussion (Move your feet when you feel the beat, yeah)
Turn it upside down (Hey, yeah)
Love to hear the percussion (Way)
Love to hear it

Flute player, play your flute 'cause
I know that you want to get your thing off
But you see, I've made up my mind about it
It's got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it, whoa, whoa

'Cause when the guitar player starts playing
With the syncopated rhythm, with the scratch, scratch, scratch
Makes me want to move my body, yeah, yeah, yeah
And when the drummer starts beating that beat
He nails that beat with the syncopated rhythm
With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat on the drums, hey, yeah, yeah

Turn the beat around (Turn it around and around and around)
Love to hear the percussion (Oh, yeah, yeah)
Turn it upside down (Hey, yeah)
Love to hear the percussion (My, my, my, my, my)

Love to hear it (Yeah)
Love to hear it (Whoo)
Love to hear it (Whoa)
Love to hear it (Hey, hey, yeah)

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down

Turn the beat around (Turn the beat around)
Love to hear the percussion (Turn the beat around now)
Turn it upside down (Hey, yeah, yeah)
Love to hear the percussion (My, my, my, my, my)

My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my, my
Yes (Oh)
Yes (Oh)

My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my, my
Yes (Oh)
Yes (Oh)

Turn the beat around (Hey)
Love to hear the percussion (Move your feet when you feel the beat, yeah)
Turn it upside down (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Love to hear the percussion

Turn the beat around (Turn the beat around, yeah)
Love to hear the percussion
Turn it upside down (Turn it upside down)
Love to hear the percussion
Love to hear it
