Fall in line just watching all their feet
They don't know where they want to go
But they're walking in time

Go-go music really makes us dance
Do the pony puts us in a trance
do the watusi just give us a chance
That's when they fall in line
 
repeat chorus
 
We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
Yeah
We got the beat
Everybody get on your feet
We know you can dance to the beat
Jumpin' - get down
Round and round and round

I think it sounds better to just play the chords hits during the verse and not play the x's except for the during intro and the pre-verse.
