| A beat on the drum a drum on the beat
|
| A change of the key by pinching my seat;
|
| A beat on the drum has got to be there
|
| The rise in my voice a spring on my chair
|
| A ring on the chord a chord on the ring
|
| A turn of the key the break of a string;
|
| A ring on the chord has got to be here
|
| The rise in my voice could sound very queer
|
| Let’s lay it down on the line Let’s lay it down while it shines
|
| Let’s lay it down while it moves Let’s lay it all in the grooves
|
| Let’s play it back with attack Let’s make the window panes crack
|
| A bend on the note a note on the bend
|
| The frog in my throat goes through to the end;
|
| A bend on the note is all very fine
|
| So let it hang on a hell of a time
|
| A chase on the bass is all very fine
|
| There’s only one place — so watch for the sign |
