歌曲歌詞
Get in line keep in time with the Drum
And don't forget you're nothing yet but water
Are you coming to or coming from
The understanding that I'm handing it to you
Or is that a job you don't dare do
Hey my sweet patootie there's a letter for you
52559,150 you'll find it on the shelf
Though it was posted in Calcutta
I know it's just another that you've written to yourself
We watched a distant drummer flashing
On the beat on all his Parrot fashion
Get in line keep in time with the Drum
Don't forget we're nothing yet but water
Don't move your feet until the next beat comes
One of the laws says pause between
Though I would hate to make the game seem mean
Hey my pretty flower can you guess where I've been
Can you guess at all
Well I've been to your rooms and learned
You have all the mirrors turned against the wall
We watched a distant drummer flashing
On the beat in all his Parrot Fashions
Listen now to the sound of the Drum
And don't forget we're nothing yet but water
It won't be pleasant when the present time is done
Testing nightly 'neath a sprightly summer moon
Your spirit like a jelly in a spoon
Hey my pretty flower there's a cat in the room
And it's not the type you're used to
Though I think I led it to the sink
And tried to make it drink
It refused to
