Beat! Beat! Drums! Lyrics by Julia Hülsmann, Theo Bleckmann

A Clear Midnight / Kurt Weill and America

2015

[Verse 1]
Beat! beat! drums!
Blow! bugles! blow!
Through the windows
Through doors
Burst like a ruthless force
Into the solemn church
And scatter the congregation
Into the school where the scholar is studying;
Leave not the bridegroom quiet
No happiness must he have with his bride
Nor the peaceful farmer any peace
Ploughing his field or gathering his grain
So fierce you whirr and pound, you drums
So shrill you bugles blow
[Piano Solo]
[Verse 2]
Beat! beat! drums!
Blow! bugles! blow!
Over the traffic of cities
Ovеr the rumble of wheels in the streets
Arе beds prepared for sleepers at night in the houses?
No sleepers must sleep in those beds
No bargainers bargains by day
No brokers or speculators
Would they continue?
Would the talkers be talking?
Would the singer attempt to sing?
Would the lawyer rise in the court
To state his case before the judge?
Then rattle quicker, heavier drums
You bugles wilder blow
[Trumpet Solo]
[Verse 3]
Beat! beat! drums!
Blow! bugles! blow!
Make no parley
Stop for no expostulation
Beat! beat! drums!
Blow! bugles! blow!
Beat! beat! drums!
So loud you bugles blow
