When the Brat Upstairs Got a Drum Kit |
When the brat upstairs got a drum kit |
She played her lil' heart out |
Each bash and crash, each thwack and thump |
Was free of doom or doubt |
The plates would plummet from the rail |
The cats would screech and zoom about |
But you and I, we didn’t care |
For we were living in love’s lair |
When the kid upstairs discovered ska |
The genre to which one jumps |
She pogoed up and down the floor |
The ceiling fell in clumps |
T’was quiet when she was at school |
Until the month she got the mumps |
But you and I, did we complain? |
We were in love, on Lovers' Lane |
But you and I, we didn’t mind |
For love is deaf, and dumb, and blind |
