What Goes Around Comes Around Lyrics by 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 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

    (chorus)
    What goes around, comes around
    (and that's the way it goes)
    What goes around comes around and
    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 we go
    Round, round and round
    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

    (repeat chorus)

    Be-bop, hip-hop,
    Hep hop don't stop
    Be-bop, hip-hop,
    Add pop don't stop

    (rap)
    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

    (repeat chorus)
    Round, round and round
    Round we go
    Round, round and round
    Round we go
    (repeat)
    What goes around and round
    Must come around and around
    (repeat)
