Drumsticks For Christmas

Holidays are coming
Life in a twist
Desperately seeking meaningfulness
Any given day the world can easily
Lead you astray
Sometimes I just want to play
I want drumsticks for Christmas
Let me finish my riff
I'll be down in the basement
Playing on my kit
I want drumsticks for Christmas

Don't bother to wrap them up
Just put them in a cup
Prominently displayed
There in the buff
I would go and pound the tubs
C'mon kids it's time to wake up
Nobody give me no guff
I want drumsticks for Christmas ...

A game of catch on the landing
An exploded thermostat
Oh I ain't reprimanding
Just go on be understanding
I love you but I'm not demanding
I want drumsticks for Christmas

I could bang out the shopping
Master the list
I would shadow the mailman
He's leaving the bits
Any given day could be a
Throw a no no opening day
Sometimes I need an escape
I want drumsticks for Christmas
