| Artist: Song: I Love To Beat The Big Bass Drum Chorus 1: I love to beat the big bass drum, A-rum-te-tum-te-tum-de-dum. I'd be as happy as they come, If I could beat the big bass drum. They tell me there are some who feel A feeling for the glockenspiel; I reckon that's all-right for some, I love to beat the big bass drum. Verse: If it's in the music store Or a drum and bugle corps; Marching forward as to war, I repeat, it's the sweetest sound! Would I rather play the fife? Wouldn't try to save my life? Would I rather beat my wife? No, not I! I supply music by the pound. Chorus 2: If I could only make the grade, I wouldn't care how much it weighed; I wouldn't care if I got paid, Or if I had to promenade Around the town in some parade, It might be ninety in the shade. A-rum-te-tum-te-tum-de-dum, I love to beat the big bass drum. Some can spot a sonata Or plot a cantata, But I gotta beat the drum! Interlude 1: Picture me on key, In big-time company, Gee! Trio: Not the fella with the big baton, Even though he really carries on; Not the squeaky little piccolo Nor the trombones as they blow ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho. Holy mack'rel, see the cymbals fly, Pretty soon I should be passin' by; What, they had me hidden? That was me, no kiddin'! Holdin' up the big bass drum... Interlude 2: There's a part When they start Playin' a martial air; When the brass Shows real class, Blowin' a bright fanfare. For a moment all is quiet, Then the rhythm starts a riot; Chorus 3: Almost like a New Years' night Or when a fella picks a fight; Or like a homer in the stands, It makes you wanna clap your hands. It makes you wanna tap your feet And that's the reason I repeat: A-rum-te-tum-te-tum-de-dum, I love to beat the big bass drum! Some musicians are cuter At tootin' a tooter, But I love a big bass drum! Back to The Belle of New York soundtrack |
