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 |
|
StreetLiving 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 |
|
He's a drummer man, that's what he is |
|
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 |
