| Hush, hush, little baby, don’t you cry
|
| Hush, hush, little baby, don’t you cry
|
| Daddy works in a rock and roll band
|
| He’s a Drummer Man
|
| Plays all night in a crummy dive
|
| down on Lincoln Street
|
| Living in a rat trap, hassle and
|
| a-hustle with the welfare plan
|
| Lord, it’s tough when you’re living with a dream
|
| Of a Drummer Man
|
| Hush, hush, little baby, don’t you cry
|
| Don’t you know, little baby, bye and bye
|
| Daddy’s really going to make it big like Ringo done
|
| Be a Hollywood cat and live up in the canyon where the sun shines
|
| If we can just hold on till
|
| we find that once in a lifetime plan
|
| Oh, Lord, it hurts to be living with a dream
|
| Of a Drummer Man
|
| And I love him so And I clean his jeans
|
| And I dry his tears
|
| When the breaks don’t come, and it ain’t no fun
|
| He’s my man and he’s a real good drummer
|
| It’s a bummer when you’ve got to play
|
| the nickel and the dime
|
| Kind of job that don’t pay enough to buy a can of beans
|
| Chicken bone’s clean
|
| Hush, hush, little baby, don’t you cry
|
| Hush, hush, little baby, don’t you cry
|
| Daddy works in a rock and roll band
|
| He’s a Drummer Man
|
| He beats out time, drinks a lot of bad
|
| wine down on Lincoln Street
|
| One day Daddy’s going to be a star
|
| But in the meantime-
|
| Oh, Lord, it’s tough to be living with a dream
|
| Of a Drummer Man
|
| Child it’s tough but your Daddy is a dream
|
| Of a Drummer Man |
