The Drum Slapp Happy
[G] Get in line, keep in time with the [D]Drum
& don't forget you're nothing yet but [G]water.
Are you coming to or coming [D]from
the understanding that I'm handing it to [C]you?
Or is that a job you don't dare [G]do?
Hey, my pretty flower, there's a [C]letter for you
you'll find it on the [G]shelf
Well though it was [F]posted in Calcutta
I know it's just another that you've [G]written to yourself
bridge*: - - - - - B - - - - - Am - - - - - -
[G] We watched a[D] distant drummer [C]flashing[D]
[G] on the [D]beat in all his [C]parrot fashions.[D]
[G] Get in line keep in time with the [D]Drum
& Don't forget you're nothing yet but [G]water
Don't move your feet until the next beat [D]comes
One of the laws says pause b[C]etween
I would hate to make the game seem [G]mean
Hey my pretty flower can you [C]guess where I've been?
Can you guess at [G]all?
Well I've been [F]to your rooms and learned
you have all the mirrors turned against the [G]wall.
Bridge*:- - B - - - - - - - Am - - -
[G] We watched a [D]distant drummer [C]flashing[D]
[G] on the [D]beat in all his p[C]arrot fashions.[D]
[-] [-] [-]
G "D for Drum!"
Listen now to the sound of the Drum -
& don't forget we're nothing yet but [G]water.
It won't be pleasant when the present time is [D]done
testing nightly 'neath a sprightly summer [C]moon
your spirit like a jelly in a [G]spoon.
Hey ma pretty flower there's a [C]cat in the room
& it's not the type you're [G]used to
Though I [F]think I led it to the sink
& tried to make it drink
it re[G]fused to.
[G] [D] wooh[G]lalalaal[D]alalalal[G]alala[D] [G] [D] [G]
