Lyrics

GENE:
The piano player gets his say and you hang on every word
And the violin can fly on in through the crowd just like a bird
But I’m stuck in back, out of luck I lack the ability to move
But if not for me there would never be the ability to groove

You think it’s all just hunky-dory
As we tiptoe through the story
And you guys get all the glory
I think it’s time now
You gotta give the drummer some

Now the next time out’s gonna be about the history of Gene
From the minimum wage to the stadium stage and the good parts in between
And the world will know of my big ego and my way with all the chicks
And the hottest girls watch my drumsticks twirl as I play my tasty licks

I don’t mean to sound demanding
But we’ve been off wonderlanding
And that Grandma part notwithstanding
I think it’s time now
You gotta give the drummer some

‘Cause it’s all about me, me, me, me, me
It’s all about me, me, me, me, me
It’s all about me, me, me, me, me

You think it’s all just hunky-dory
As we tiptoe through the story
And you guys get all the glory
You gotta give the drummer gotta give the drummer
Gotta give the drummer gotta give the drummer
Gotta give the drummer
You gotta give the drummer some!
