The Manhattan Transfer What Goes Around Comes Around lyrics

It was cool in the fifties
Scattin' to Jazz and be-bop
It was the sound they were throwin' down
From L.A. to New York and in every town

And with the rhythm in your souls
Add a hip-hop and bop an' 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 and round and round
And round we go
Goin' round and round and round
And round we go

People stomped in the cities
Jumpin' to the groove of the music
They rocked and jammed 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 a 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
And round we go
Goin' round and round and round
And round we go

Round and round and round
And round we go
Goin' round and round and round
And round we go

Round and round and round
And round we go
Goin' round and round and round
And round we go

What goes around and round
Must come around and around
What goes around and round
Must come around and around

What goes around and round
Must come around and around
