Beatnik lyrics
by The Buggles
[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
