The Beat - Ima Robot

Julie’s clockin' out at the station

Hurry up and get your pay

A two day vacation — Friday Saturday

Down in the basement

You can shower up in the sink

Throw on some lipstick

And look Pretty in Pink

Short skirts in the cold

To the club — where the night is waiting

Getting closer you feel it shakin'

On the dance floor

This is the beat the beat we fight to

This is the beat we live and die to

Here’s to the kids they’re getting off

We work all week to sweat it off

This is the beat to beat the pressure

Throwing away the world with pleasure

We’re working hard to burn it off

So DJ won’t you turn it up

Jimmy’s doin shots at the counter

Thinkin' bout his great escape

From his stupid job telemarketing

But he never can sail away

A little tap on the shoulder

The prettiest girl in pink

Oh no I can’t dance he told her

As she dragged him from his drink

Freeze frame in the heat

She moves and he’s close to shaking

So close that the ground is breaking

On the dance floor

This is the beat the beat we fight to

This is the beat we live and die to

Here’s to the kids they’re getting off

We work all week to sweat it off

This is the beat to beat the pressure

Throwing away the world with pleasure

We’re working hard to burn it off

So DJ won’t you turn it up

And we could beat for city boys

And suburb girls that dream

Just like the kids with Chinese Rocks

Beat bleeding hearts for me

Thank you boys

Make some noise — Make some noise

This is the beat the beat we fight to

This is the beat we get high to

Here’s to the kids they’re getting off

We work all week to sweat it off

This is the beat to beat the pressure

Throwing away the world with pleasure

We’re working hard to burn it off

So DJ won’t you turn it up
