[Intro: Ringo Starr]
Give me the beat, boys
Give me the beat, boys

[Verse 1: Ringo]
Day after day I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know, that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feeling the strain
Ain't it a shame?

[Chorus: Ringo]
Give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

[Verse 2: Ringo]
I'm beginning to think that I'm wasting time
And I don't understand the things I do
Yeah, the world outside looks so unkind
Now it's up to you to carry me through

[Chorus: Ringo]

[Verse 3: Ringo]
And when my mind is free
You know, the melody can move me
And when I'm feeling blue
The guitar's coming through to soothe me, yeah
[Bridge: Alanis Morrisette]
Thanks for the joy you've given me
I want you to know that I believe in the song
The rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along
You're making me strong
Give me the beat, boys[x2]
Come on!

[Chorus: Ringo, Alanis, and Steve Tyler][x2]

[Outro: Steve]
Give me the beat, boy
"That's cool, I'll just double that!"
