Lyrics

[Intro]
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
[Chorus]
Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it
[Verse 1]
Blow horns, you sure sound pretty
Your violins keep movin' to the nitty gritty
When you hear the scratch of the guitar scratchin'
Then you'll know that the rhythm carries all the action, oh yeah
[Chorus]
Turn the beat around (Turn it around, yeah)
Love to hear percussion (Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma)
Turn it upside down (Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down)
Love to hear percussion (Yeah)
Love to hear it (Got to hear it)
Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion (Move your feet when you feel the beat, yeah)
Turn it upside down (Yeah)
Love to hear percussion (Yes)
Love to hear it
[Verse 2]
Flute player play you're 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
'Cause when the guitar player starts playin'
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 the beat
He nails that beat with the syncopated rhythm
With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, on the drums, hey yeah
[Chorus]
Turn the beat around
Turn it 'round and 'round and 'round
Love to hear percussion (Oh-yeah)
Turn it upside down (Hey-yeah)
Love to hear percussion (Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma)
Love to hear it (Yeah)
Love to hear it (Woo)
Love to hear it (Whoa)
Love to hear it (Hey, yeah)
[Refrain]
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
[Chorus]
Turn the beat around (Turn the beat around)
Love to hear percussion (Turn the beat around)
Turn it upside down (Aye-yay)
Love to hear percussion (Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma)
[Bridge]
Ma, mama, ma, mama, ma mama my, my, my (Yes, uh, yes, uh)
Ma, mama, ma, mama, ma mama my, my, my (Yes, uh, yes, uh)
[Chorus]
Turn the beat around (Hey, yeah)
Love to hear percussion (Move your feet when you feel the beat, yeah)
Turn it upside down (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Love to hear percussion
Turn the beat around (Turn the beat around, yeah)
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down (Turn it upside down)
Love to hear percussion (Love to hear it)
