You're never too young and you're never too old

To hear what the music says

And the world can't stop

Can't get enough

With a hundred billion plays

The sound of drumming and the melodies coming

Forever and so long

And the world won't stop

Won't get enough

'Cause the beat goes on and on

In the beginning there was music

Made with sticks and skin and bone

The weaving of creation

That was sung by those unknown

Sent to Muddy Waters

And the people of the South

Stolen by thе rockers

And then spread by word of mouth

Justifiеd and amplified

Coded by machines

Multiplied and deified

Like something never seen

And you're never too young and you're never too old

To hear what the music says

And the world can't stop

Can't get enough

With a hundred billion plays

The sound of drumming and the melodies coming

Forever and so long

And the world won't stop

Won't get enough

'Cause the beat goes on and on

And you're never too young and you're never too old

To hear what the music says

And the world can't stop

Can't get enough

With a hundred billion plays

The sound of drumming and the melodies coming

Forever and so long

And the world won't stop

Won't get enough

'Cause the beat goes on and on

The sound of drumming and the melodies coming

Forever and so long

And the world won't stop

Won't get enough

'Cause the beat goes on and on

The beat goes on and on

The beat goes on and on

(In the beginning there was music)

The beat goes on and on

In the beginning there was music
