Born to play the drums much to my folks' dismay
it's what I did for many moons and still do today
my first gig was in kindergarten leading All The King's Men
unfortunately for him they couldn't put Humpty together again
my first paid gig was jazz tho' not quite my thing
played my heart out (I always do) and believe me I can swing
performed in concert played on stage
recording studios and broadcast 'live'
oft toured on the road and booked on the bill of many a dive
who would think an extinct volcano on the Hawaiian island Oahu
yes in Diamond Head Crater I've played that venue too
Americana reggae rock 'n' roll pop rock R&B
it's all music to my ears one and the same to me
my drums of choice are Ludwig cymbals are Paiste (PY-stee)
and not to beat around the bush they sound superb to me
with as perfect a meter as any man can mete
I drum to the march of my very own beat
and a commemorative brick with my band's name
I'm proud to say is 20 rows above 'John' (Lennon)
