Beat Out Dat Rhythm On A Drum

(album: Listen To Cliff! - 1961)

I'll tell you why I wanna dance
It aing the sweetness of the music
I like the sweetness of the music
But that ain't why I wanna dance

It's sumping thumping in the bass
A bump on bumping under music
A bumping bumping under music
Is all I need to start me off
I don't need nothing else to start me off

Beat out dat rhythm on a drum
Beat out dat rhythm on a drum
Beat out dat rhythm on a drum
And I don't need no tune at all

Beat me dat rhythm on a drum
Beat me dat rhythm on a drum
Beat me dat rhythm on a drum
And I don't need no tune at all

And now this heart is beating fast
And that's a rhythm I can dance to
I'm mighty glad I got a chance to
With this big heart that's beating fast

Tomorrow morning let it rain
Tomorrow morning let it pour
Tonight we's in the groove together
Ain't gonna worry 'bout stormy weather
Gonna kick old trouble out the door

Beat out dat rhythm on a drum
Beat out dat rhythm on a drum
Beat out dat rhythm on a drum
And kick old trouble out the door

Beat me dat rhythm on a drum
Beat me dat rhythm on a drum
Beat me dat rhythm on a drum
And kick old trouble out the door
Kick 'im out de door
Kick 'im out de door
Kick 'im out de door
Kick 'im out de door
