Gave hope and a brand new day
Nothing was the same again
And the drums, the drums, the drums
And the strings, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee
And the boys, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Then the preacher plays it all night long
Remembering how this begun
Imagine all the girls, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
When his work was all but done
Nothing but the girls, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Blowing our minds in a life unkind
And the boys, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
And the strings, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee
The drums, the drums, the drums
And your boys, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
The drums, the drums, the drums
The drums, the drums, the drums
And the drums, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh
And the strings, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee
All about where and when
And the drums, the drums, the drums
And the boys, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
The drums, the drums
All the girls, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
You said, he had some songs to play
And the strings, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee
The drums, the drums, the drums
You gotta love the BPM
What went down from his fooling around
The drums, the drums, the drums
Nothing but the local DJ
The drums, the drums, the drums, oh
Folks got high at a quarter to five
Imagine all the girls, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
We wore his love like a hand in a glove
Don’t you feel you’re growing up undone?
The drums, the drums, the drums
The drums, the drums, the drums
