Listening to the resounding beat,
Watching the performance of the band,
Listening to the chorus repeat.

Tapping feet on worn concrete,
Marking measures with the hand,
Listening to the resounding beat.

Enjoying music on the street,
Looking up at the grandstand,
Listening to the chorus repeat.

Melody and chorus meet,
Sounds blend into a single strand,
Listening to the resounding beat.

Watching all the tapping feet,
Rhythm moving slow as trickling sand,
Listening to the chorus repeat.

Thund’ring drums that shake your seat,
Lyrics tell of a long-lost land,
Listening to the resounding beat,
Listening to the chorus repeat.
