G (320003@1)                                  D (xx0232@1) Get in line, keep in time with the Drum

G& (320003@1)don't forget you're nothing yet but water.

DAre (xx0232@1)you coming to or coming  from

Cthe (x32010@1)understanding that I'm handing it to you?

GOr (320003@1)is that a job you don't dare  do?

CHey, (x32010@1)my pretty flower, there's a  letter for you

Gyou'll (320003@1)find it on the   shelf

FWell (133211@1)though it was  posted in Calcutta

G (320003@1)                
I know it's just another that you've  written to yourself

G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)              C (x32010@1)                    D (xx0232@1)on the beat in all his  parrot fashions.



G (320003@1)                                D (xx0232@1)Get in line keep in time with the Drum

G& (320003@1)Don't forget you're nothing yet but water

DDon't (xx0232@1)move your feet until the next beat  comes

COne (x32010@1)of the laws says pause between
   
                                   GI (320003@1)would hate to make the game seem mean

CHey (x32010@1)my pretty flower can you  guess where I've been?
 
                  G (320003@1)            
Can you guess at  all?

FWell (133211@1)I've been to your rooms and learned

Gyou (320003@1)have all the mirrors turned against the  wall.

G (320003@1)                            "D for Drum!"
 Listen now to the sound of the Drum -

G& (320003@1)don't forget we're nothing yet but  water.

DIt (xx0232@1)won't be pleasant when the present time is  done

Ctesting (x32010@1)nightly 'neath a sprightly summer  moon

Gyour (320003@1)spirit like a jelly in a  spoon.

CHey (x32010@1)ma pretty flower there's a  cat in the room

G& (320003@1)it's not the type you're  used to

FThough (133211@1)I  think I led it to the sink

& tried to make it drink

Git (320003@1)refused to.

G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)       G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)     G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)    G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)    G (320003@1)
