Old grand-pa just made eighty years old 
Man he`s crazy about that rock and roll 
The Big Beat gets in your soul 
Makes you jump, it makes you roll

Peg Leg Joe just threw his crutches away 
The Big Beat makes you act this way 
Come on gang, let`s swing and away 
The Big Beat makes you act this way 
Peg Leg Joe threw his crutches away.
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
