Lyrics[]

Rachel:
See the people walking down the street
Fall in line just watching all their feet
They don't know where they wanna go

Rachel with ND:
But they're walking in time
They got the beat
They got the beat
They got the beat
Yeah
They got the beat

Santana:
All the kids just getting out of school
They can't wait to hang out and be cool
Hang around 'til quarter after twelve

Santana with ND:
That's when they fall in line
They got the beat
They got the beat
Kids got the beat
Yeah
Kids got the beat

(Break)

Brittany:
Go-go music really makes us dance
Do the pony puts us in a trance
Do the watusi just gives us a chance

Brittany with ND:
That's when we fall in line, 'cuz

We got the beat
Yeah

Errors[]

  • While Santana, Brittany, and Rachel are dancing/singing on the tables, they continuously change locations.

They go back to their original places in the next scene.
