Return of the Beat Menace

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
