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.

Chorus
|
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.
