Michael Jackson – Beat It
LYRICS
Intro
ROUTINE
Pull into the pole (bend knee). Push out from the pole
(bend knee) x3
Arm up, drop body down, bent over clicks (coming up
on the last 4 counts)
Gallop right left right kick left, pirouette.
Gallop left right left, life right knee twice (x2)
They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it
Spinning Climb with lean back and fold over (into
standing seat)
Swan or seat to prep
Either – cross knee release, cross ankle release, layout
or plank (sit up and down if you can!)
You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Legs to side climb position, turn to figurehead to slide
down with back to the pole
Scissor kick legs at bottom
Straddle or Cartwheel or V Kick
CHORUS
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
CHORUS
Sunwheel kick release, pirouette
Chair (tuck up step down) x2
(facing pole) elbow thrust (2 slow 3 fast – right first)
Kick to the left, kick to the right
Carousel to the floor, arch pose, thrust hips twice,
knees in pole push to get up
They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it
Climb
You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Bow and Arrow/Crab/Pencil
CHORUS
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
