[Intro: Ringo Starr]

Give me the beat, boys

Give me the beat, boys

[Verse 1: Ringo]

Day after day I'm more confused

But I look for the light through the pouring rain

You know, that's a game that I hate to lose

I'm feeling the strain

Ain't it a shame?

[Chorus: Ringo]

Give me the beat, boys and free my soul

I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Give me the beat, boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

[Verse 2: Ringo]

I'm beginning to think that I'm wasting time

And I don't understand the things I do

Yeah, the world outside looks so unkind

Now it's up to you to carry me through

[Chorus: Ringo]

[Verse 3: Ringo]

And when my mind is free

You know, the melody can move me

And when I'm feeling blue

The guitar's coming through to soothe me, yeah

[Bridge: Alanis Morrisette]

Thanks for the joy you've given me

I want you to know that I believe in the song

The rhythm and rhyme and harmony

You help me along

You're making me strong

Give me the beat, boys[x2]

Come on!

[Chorus: Ringo, Alanis, and Steve Tyler][x2]

[Outro: Steve]

Give me the beat, boy

"That's cool, I'll just double that!"
