I've Got You Beat Lyrics

Hey, I do feel a beat!
We got a beat here too ya know.
A little more sophisticated
Hmmm...

I've got you beat
In the village we learn it right
Got you beat
In the jungle, we burn all night
Count on me
To get 'em dancin' down the street
1-2-3
'Cause when it comes to this
I've got you beat!

Pretty good, huh?
Yeah

In the sleepy town we come from
There's a steady beat that plays.
Might be just a little humdrum
Though I'd like to learn its ways.
It's in fire and in water
In the houses and the wells.
It's in every son and daughter
In the and the bells.

I've got you beat
You do?
'Cause I break every single rule!
Got you beat
Says who?
'Cause I know how to keep it cool.
Count on me
To get 'em dancin' down the street
1, 2, 3
'Cause when it comes to this
I've got you beat!

How bout this
Hmm, not bad, not bad

In the jungle there is freedom!
Yes, I'm sure that I've been told.
No one drums the way that we drum
Though it's fairly uncontrolled...
There's this grouchy old piranha
Who knows all the hippest tunes!
Once a shiny green iguana
Showed me how to play the spoons

I've got you beat
You do?
With a solo that always wails!
Got you beat
With the tempo that never fails!
Count on me
To get 'em dancin' down the street
1, 2, 3 'Cause when it comes to this
I've got you beat!

Yeah-heah!
No, no, watch this!

No one plays the way that I play that plays the way that you play!
(plays the way that I play-- you play)
Anytime we two play
When I play-
When I play-
You'll be impressed
That's right!
When you knew who is clearly the best~!
I'm the best--!

[Let's go!]

Nothing wrong with competition!
How 'bout girls against the boys?
Losing every inhibition
As we make a little noise
I'll be faster!
I'll be stronger!
I'll do that!
And I'll do this!
We'll see who can hold out longer
And the winner gets a kiss

Yuck!

In the sleepy town we come from
There's a melody that plays.
And it's anything but humdrum
When you get to know its ways.
From the mountains to the ocean
In the east and in the west!
People make their own commotion
With the beat the know the best!

I've got you beat
[Iiiiii've got youuuuuu!]
Well I must say, although it's true
I've got you beat
[Yoooou've got meeee, tooo!]
In a way, you've got me beat, too.
Look at we
[Iiiiii've got youuuuuu!]
We got 'em dancin' down the street!
[Yooooou've got!]
I'll agree
When it comes to that, you've got me beat!

[Laughing, a lone yeah. Background noise.]

When it comes to that, I've got you beat!
