The Drummer Requests

Oh the drummer has but one request as such
He doesn’t ask for much
So don’t be a crashing bore
Stay out on the floor
And continue dancing

The drummer’s handsome and so dashing
Plays the kit with wit and passion
You can thank him in this fashion
Please continue dancing
Please continue dancing

He was the first to join the band
Like us he’ll help you understand
The greatest thing a klezmer can do
Is continue dancing
Please continue dancing
Please continue dancing

And when
You’re tirеd of dancing
That’s when we would suggest continuе dancing
If you pretend
That you are dancing
Sometimes you’ve tricked yourself, you’re actually dancing!

Our passports have a thousand stamps
We eat like kings and sleep like tramps
Past all the brand new prison camps
We will continue dancing
We’ll continue dancing

And if you find that you have fallen
You’ll still hear that kick drum calling
If you can’t stand up, try crawling
And continue dancing
Please continue dancing

And when
You’re tired of dancing
That’s when we would suggest continue dancing
If you pretend
That you are dancing
Sometimes you’ve tricked yourself, you’re actually dancing!

We’re not saying that you gotta
Please continue dancing
Dancing in your chair is part of
Please continue dancing
Ain’t no perfect way you oughta
Please continue dancing
Please continue dancing
Please continue dancing

And when
You’re tired of dancing
That’s when we would suggest continue dancing
If you pretend
That you are dancing
Sometimes you’ve tricked yourself, you’re actually dancing!
