Lyrics

Everybody knows about the beat Everybody's talking about the beat Everybody's dancing on the beat The down beat, beat But there's a different angle here for you Another beat has always been there, too A new dance has hit This is it The afterbeat is the next beat after the Down beat (After the down beat) Not the first beat or the on beat But the off beat (Yeah the off beat, beat, b...) The afterbeat is the next beat after the Down beat (Down, down, down beat) Not the first beat or the on beat But the off beat (Talking about the off beat, beat, b...) Everybody knows about the beat Everybody's talking about the beat Everybody's dancing on the beat The down beat, beat But there's a different angle here for you Another beat has always been there, too A new dance has hit This is it The afterbeat is the next beat after the Down beat (After the down beat) Not the first beat or the on beat But the off beat (Yeah the off beat, beat, b...) The afterbeat is the next beat after the Down beat (Down, down, down beat) Not the first beat or the on beat But the off beat (Talking about the off beat, beat, b...) Not a beat-up beat or a Beatnik beat But an afterbeat The emphasis is on the last bit, that's The afterbeat Not an oom-pa-pa nor a cha-cha-cha But the afterbeat The afterbeat is the next beat after the Down beat (After the down beat) Not the first beat or the on beat But the off beat (Yeah the off beat, beat, b...) The afterbeat is the next beat after the Down beat (Down, down, down beat) Not the first beat or the on beat But the off beat (Talking about the off beat, beat, b...)
