Beatnik Lyrics by The Buggles

Adventures in Modern Recording

0

[Intro]
All will be revealed before the next move
All will be revealed before the next move

[Verse 1]
Gimme some juice and watch me blow
Tell that joker where to go
Gimme some air and let me breathe
Wake me when it's time to leave

[Chorus]
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik

[Verse 2]
A shark tooth fin and a Chevrolet
A wild boy takes it all the way
No more Charlie it's my throat
Send the bell-boy for my coat

[Chorus]
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik

[Post-Chorus]
All will be revealed before the next move
All will be revealed before the next move

[Verse 3]
I got to see you one more time
Show you to a friend of mine
A poor white man on an Asian beat
An exis kid with a graceful streak

[Chorus]
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik

[Keyboard Solo]

[Verse 4]
No more from Charlie
No more from Cole
No more expresso
What a joke

[Chorus]
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik
I was a Beatnik

[Post-Chorus]
All will be revealed before the next move
All will be revealed before the next move

[Outro]
No more expresso
