Story behind the song
I've been thinking about needing some percussion, so it was the obvious thing to write about.
I don't have drums, so I used a big plastic jar, claves and the soundboard of my guitar.
Lyrics
verse:
A guitar can be for rhythm,
But the song isn't driven
Unless you've got some drums.
I gotta get me some.
verse:
I can bang on a box
If I really want to rock
Or beat two sticks together.
Now, doesn't that sound clever?
chorus:
Ain't got no drums.
I gotta get me some. Uh huh.
A song ain't worth discussin'
If it ain't got percussion. Uh huh.
verse:
A pounding bass,
A snare to set the pace,
High hat for that clang,
Even a tambourine.
chorus
verse:
How about some bongos?
Or maybe a conga?
An African hand drum?
I gotta get me one.
chorus
