Play The Drum Lyrics by John Riggio

0

[Chorus]
Play the drum, play the drum
They ring out, boom, they thump and hum
Play the drum, play the drum
Making music with my fingers and thumbs

[Verse 1]
When I was a little one
(Play the drum, play the drum)
Anything could be a drum
(Play the drum, play the drum)
We'd play on rocks and play on trees
(Play the drum, play the drum)
And then, we'd even play on our knees
(Play the drum, play the drum)

[Chorus]
Play the drum, play the drum
They ring out, boom, they thump and hum
Play the drum, play the drum
Making music with my fingers and thumbs

[Verse 2]
Once I tried to play my cat
(Play the drum, play the drum)
He meowed at me and hissed and spat
(Play the drum, play the drum)
Thеn I tried to play my goat
(Play the drum, play the drum)
Hе ran away and fell in a moat
(Play the drum, play the drum)

[Chorus]
Play the drum, play the drum
They ring out, boom, they thump and hum
Play the drum, play the drum
Making music with my fingers and thumbs

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Then one day, I played my sink
(Play the drum, play the drum)
I played all night without a wink
(Play the drum, play the drum)
I love to play the snare and toms
(Play the drum, play the drum)
And that is why I sing this song
(Play the drum, play the drum)

[Chorus]
Play the drum, play the drum
They ring out, boom, they thump and hum
Play the drum, play the drum
Making music with my fingers and thumbs
Play the drum, play the drum
They ring out, boom, they thump and hum
Play the drum, play the drum
Making music with my fingers and thumbs
