Lyrics
Return of the Beat Menace
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Again you announce while you whirl and bounce
Intentions to pounce on the beat menace
No woman or man could ever withstand
The devious plans of the beat menace
Come to lay you low, we've come to vex your soul
Feeling the heat, hell at your feet
Don't even speak of the beat menace
Something to take away your innocence
Someone to blame it on
Helps you to defeat
Dancing in the street
Come to lay you low, we've come to vex you
Resolved in your mind- the nature of crime
Is to swallow the line of the beat menace
Imagination's on the rise again
So hide your heart away
Dust off the fears and guilts and lies again
The beat is here to stay
Your satellite can reach that Eskimo
He buys a suit and tie
Re-styles his hair like girls in Tupelo
And sings "Sweet Bye And Bye"
He's meeting all your strange requirements
He thinks you can't be fooled
He'll get the rules and laws and sacraments
By sending checks to you
We've come to bring you low
