[00:00.00]The Drum - Slapp Happy
[00:33.13]Get in line keep in time with the Drum
[00:35.92]And don't forget you're nothing yet but water
[00:39.36]Are you coming to or coming from
[00:42.17]The understanding that I'm handing it to you
[00:45.58]Or is that a job you don't dare do
[00:48.65]Hey my sweet patootie there's a letter for you
[00:52.55](you'll find it on the shelf)
[00:55.48]Though it was posted in Calcutta
[00:57.78]I know it's just another that you've written to yourself

[01:25.50]Don't forget we're nothing yet but water

[01:59.15]We watched a distant drummer flashing
[02:05.43]On the beat in all his Parrot Fashions
[02:12.51]Listen now to the sound of the Drum
[02:15.20]And don't forget we're nothing yet but water
[02:18.28]It won't be pleasant when the present time is done
[02:21.36]Testing nightly 'neath a sprightly summer moon
[02:24.99]Your spirit like a jelly in a spoon
[02:27.94]Hey my pretty flower there's a cat in the room
[02:31.60]And it's not the type you're used to
[02:35.14]Though I think I led it to the sink
[02:37.52]And tried to make it drink
[02:38.92]It refused to
