my daddy’s got practice, it’s a saturday night
gas fridge is full of beer, big brother’s uptight
my mother’s got her fix of television primes
the backbeat never leaves
the family band moves it on over at eight
my uncle, Donnie drums to Art’s stand-up bass
and he likes to drink Stag, but that’s okay
‘cause his backbeat never leaves
backbeat, baby get the backbeat
baby doll, come on down and move your feet
backbeat is getting louder as the night moves on
the women laugh louder, dance & drink it up
and up in my room we’re screaming Ace Frehley songs
yeah, the backbeat never leaves
