What Goes Around, Comes Around
It was cool in the fifties scattin' to jazz and be-bop
It was the sound they were throwin' down
From LA to New York and in every town
And with the rhythm in your souls
Add a hip-hop and bop n' just so ya know
This thing it's back swing is king
Call it new jack
What goes around, comes around
(and that's the way it goes)
What goes around comes around
Like that, a riff and a rhythm
What goes around, comes around (and that's the way it goes)
What goes around, comes around
Like that, like that
Round, round and round
Round and round we go
Round, round and round
Round and round we go
People stomped in the cities
Jumpin' to the groove of the music
They rock and jam
With the hipster clan
In the clubs, in the streets
And on every beat
And with the be-bop in their souls
They took the swing thing and started to roll
And now it's a fact a little hip-hop
And bop has found its way back
What goes around, comes around (and that's the way it goes)
What goes around comes around
Like that, a riff and a rhythm
What goes around, comes around (and that's the way it goes)
What goes around, comes around
Like that, like that
Be-bop, hip-hop
Hep hop don't stop
Be-bop, hip-hop
Add pop don't stop
Bix he had a bag of tricks
Parker came along exactly when
He changed the mix
Sax made a bang
Monk made a change
And be-bop laid the tracks
For the Coltrane
They were getting busy
A trumpet pumped
Your head got dizzy and
You started to bump
They had a style
Beat was the backbone
You could see for miles
Mr. Philly Joe Jones
You may not realize swing
Was here before
Because it's disguised and we've
Added so much more
The time is now to show you how
To get the groove into your shoes
What goes around, comes around (and that's the way it goes)
What goes around comes around
Like that, a riff and a rhythm
What goes around, comes around (and that's the way it goes)
What goes around, comes around
Like that, like that
What goes around, comes around (and that's the way it goes)
What goes around comes around
Like that, a riff and a rhythm
What goes around, comes around (and that's the way it goes)
What goes around, comes around
Like that, like that
Round and round and round
Round and round
Round and round and round
And round and round we go
Round and round and round
Round and round
Round and round and round
And round and round we go
Round and round and round
Round and round
Round and round and round
And round and round we go
Round and round and round
Round and round
Round and round and round
And round and round we go
Round, round
Round and round we go (round and round)
