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 percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear 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 guitar scratchin'
Well then you that rhythm carries all the action

Woah, yeah

When the guitar player starts playing
With the syncopated rhythm scratch, scratch, scratch
Makes me want to move my body yeah, yeah, yeah
When the drummer starts nailing that beat
He nails that beat with a syncopated rhythem
With a rat tat tat tat tat tat on the drums

Hey yeah, yeah, ohhh
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion

Oohhhh
Love to hear it
Love to hear it
Turn the beat around
