I'm Taking My Drum!!




They boys and their drums
When Grandpa gave me this bass drum
It made my heart go zoom.
My parents cheered each time I played:
BoomBoom   BoomBoom   BoomBoom!

But then one day my mother said,
"Take that thing to your room."
I appreciate encouragement.
BoomBoom   BoomBoom   BoomBoom!!

To become a great bass drummer
Is nothing to presume.
So I worked real hard at practice:
BoomBoom   BoomBoom   BoomBoom!!

As I played a little louder
It made the neighbors fume.
And I think that means they like it:
BoomBoom   BoomBoom   BoomBoom!!

So when Grandpa came for Christmas-
With tension in the room,
He gave my brother his bass drum.
BoomBoom   BoomBoom   BoomBoom!!
BoomBoom   BoomBoom   BoomBoom!!


Dad says his dad just likes us
But Mom says he gives doom.
I really don't know what she means,
BoomBoom   BoomBoom   BoomBoom!!
BoomBoom   BoomBoom   BoomBoom!!


Since they give harps in heaven,
When I go I now assume,
They'll be needing my percussion,
BoomBoom   BoomBoom   BoomBoom!!
BoomBoom   BoomBoom   BoomBoom!!
