Hush
Hush
Little baby
Don't you cry
Hush
Hush
Little baby
Don't you cry
Daddy works in a rock and roll band
He's a drummer man
Plays all night in a crummy dive
Down on lincoln street
Living in a rat trap
Hassle and
A hustle with the welfare plan
Lord
It's tough when you're living with a dream
Of a drummer man
Hush
Hush
Little baby
Don't you cry
Don't you know
Little baby
Bye and bye
Daddy's really going to make it big like ringo done
Be a hollywood cat and live up
In the canyon where the sun shines
If we can just hold on till
We find that once in a lifetime plan
Oh
Lord
It hurts to be living with a dream
Of a drummer man
He's a drummer man that's what he is
And I love him so
And I clean his jeans
And I dry his tears
When the breaks don't come
And it ain't no fun
He's my man and he's a real good drummer
It's a bummer when you've got to play
The nickel and the dime
Kind of job that don't pay enough to buy a can of beans
Chicken bone's clean
Hush
Hush
Little baby
Don't you cry
Hush
Hush
Little baby
Don't you cry
Daddy works in a rock and roll band
He's a drummer man
He beats out time
Drinks a lot of bad
Wine down on lincoln street
One day daddy's going to be a star
But in the meantime
Oh
Lord
It's tough to be living with a dream
Of a drummer man
Child it's tough but your daddy is a dream
Of a drummer man
