When my daddy was growing up he was dirt poor 8 kids in one room sleeping on the floor Same clothes everyday, yeah that’s all he wore Rain coming through the roof when it started to pour Some nights he didn’t eat cause he couldn’t afford Plus he lived on top of a mountain that’s far from the stores No car so he used to walk back and forth This was way before Yugoslavia had wars Things started getting worse and harder to ignore Tired of the struggle, last resort Heard about America and wanted to explore So he lеft his family and headed to New York US back in thе 80’s was immigrants galore You can’t really blame him, he just wanted more Found a job started paying bills with no support His trust in God is the only thing that kept him sure That’s the sound that the drummer boy makes on his drum It goes ra pa pum pum pum That’s the sound that the drummer boy make on his drum Pa ra pa pum pum That’s the sound that the drummer boy makes on his drum It goes ra pa pum pum pum That’s the sound that the drummer boy make on his drum Pa ra pa pum pum Back when my mama was a child things were difficult Girls and women barely had rights, they were miserable On top of that physical abuse was typical At times she was ignored, feeling invisible Poor living conditions that weren’t livable House made out of rocks, no residual income So she prayed for a miracle Never had much and if so it was minimal What’s about to happen next was unpredictable A family member came to get her, both her brothers too Brought them to America, out of the blue Living in New York, adjusting to the new environment Got a job, made some revenue Just enough to get by and make it through Cook, clean, work everyday, that’s all she would do Her faith in God is the only reason she kept her cool That’s the sound that the drummer girl makes on her drum It goes ra pa pum pum pum That’s the sound that the drummer girl make on her drum Pa ra pa pum pum That’s the sound that the drummer girl makes on her drum It goes ra pa pum pum pum That’s the sound that the drummer girl make on her drum Pa ra pa pum pum My folks came a long way figuratively and literally From Europe to the Bronx met each other coincidentally Got married moved in together started a family But It wasn’t easy a lot of responsibilities Paying the bills, helping to support their relatives back home Never took out a loan and still managed to make ends meat That’s the true definition of living the American dream God gives grace to the humble Which explains why, they made it out the struggle Cause anytime things got tough They remained grateful and didn’t give up Moral of the story, what you keep is all you have What you give God multiplies, do the math So everybody grab your drum And play along to this song pa ra pa pum pum That’s the sound that the drummer boy makes on his drum It goes ra pa pum pum pum That’s the sound that the drummer girl make on her drum Pa ra pa pum pum That’s the sound that the drummer boy makes on his drum It goes ra pa pum pum pum That’s the sound that the drummer girl make on her drum Pa ra pa pum pum Yeah I love you Mom and Dad I hope I’m making you proud
