See the people walking down the street
Fall in line, just watching all their feet
They don't know where they wanna go
But they’re walking in time

They got the beat
They got the beat
They got the beat
Yeah
They got the beat!

See the kids just gettin' out of school
They can't wait to hang out and be cool
Hangin’ 'round 'til quarter after 12
That's when they fall in line

They got the beat
They got the beat
They got the beat
Yeah
Kids got the beat!

Go-Go music really makes us dance
Doin' the pony puts us in a trance
Do what you see just give us a chance
That's when we fall in line

'Cause we got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
Yeah
We got it!

Glory to Arcadia, our matchless realm!
Gather we here at the summer solstice to celebrate our legacy!
We got the beat!
For ages, the beat has ordered our lives
Gift from the gods of their truth and design

The beat heats our grapes and turns them to wine!
It threshes our wheat and gives us to dine
We heed its rhythm and follow its form
It keeps us in line and dictates the norm
Our nation made strong by brilliant design!
Arcadians swear
Our beat is divine!

Everybody get on your feet (we got the beat!)
We know you can dance to the beat (we got the beat!)
Jumpin', get down (we got the beat!)
’Round and ’round and 'round
Woo!

We got the beat (oh, oh, oh) we got the beat
We got the beat (oh, oh, oh) we got the beat
We got the beat (oh, oh, oh) we got the beat
We got the beat (oh, oh, oh) we got the beat
We got the beat (oh, oh, oh) we got the beat
We got the beat, we got the beat (oh, oh, oh)
We got the beat!
