E              D
Not rich and I play the drums
A                  E
That's pretty much me
E                    D
Do you want to throw in with me
A            E
I'm ready to play
E                 D
You could lose a lot with me
A                 G#
A young lady like you
A                   B                        E
You could lose your luck with a drummer like me

In the days when I had a job
I got pretty good pay
But i became a percussionist
Just the other day
You've been living with your mom
And that's living to me
You could lose your luck with a drummer like me

C#m  D       A                  E
Oh   listen, some drummers have shaky time
C#m  D       A               B           E
Oh   listen, I don't mean to change your mind

I walked into a restaurant
A lady moved away
She must have lost her sanity
I was drumming on my tray
You've been living with your mom
And you've been living well
Would you check your life into a cheaper motel!

Got a friend with a drum machine
He's got rhythm and taste
He says I live in the seventies
And I can be replaced
Well I could be a professional
And that's a living to me
A                 B                       A     B
You could learn a lot with a drummer like me
A                   B
You could lose your luck with a drummer like me

C#m  D       A                  E
Oh   listen, some drummers have shaky time
C#m  D       A               E
Oh   listen, I don't mean to change your mind
C#m  D       A                    G#
Oh   listen, but don't listen to me
A                   B                        E
You could lose your luck with a drummer like me
