Uh oh. Here he comes.
There in the hotel bed, covers over his head
Rock and roll drummer straight from the hospital.
Scratchin' like he got fleas, who knows what his disease?
He was a rock and roll drummer straight from the hospital.
He was a Rock and Roll Drummer Wooooo
Rock and Roll Drummer Wooooo
Rock and Roll Drummer straight from the hospy-tel.
Fleas Fleas Fleas
Disease Disease Disease
Rock and Roll Drummer straight from the hospy-tel.
He's such a little rock and roll drummer
(Skinny, frail)
Keep him away from your neice
And your daughter too.
Pathetic as can be, walks right into a tree
Rock and roll drummer straight from the hospy-tel
Opens up the door, but falls down on the floor
Rock and roll drummer straight from the hospy-tel
Rock and Roll Drummer Wooooo
Rock and Roll Drummer Wooooo
Rock and Roll Drummer straight from the hospy-tel.
Door Door Door
Floor Floor Floor
Rock and Roll Drummer straight from the hospy-tel.
He's such a little rock and roll drummer
(Musician bad) [Whispered]
Keep him away from your neice
And your nephew too
Hair is full of bleach, never seen the beach
He was a rock and roll drummer straight from the hospy-tel
Hair is full of bugs, he's on six perscription drugs
He's a rock and roll drummer straight from the hospy-tel
Rock and Roll Drummer Wooooo
Rock and Roll Drummer Wooooo
Rock and Roll Drummer straight from the hospy-tel.
Bugs Bugs Bugs
Drugs Drugs Drugs
Rock and Roll Drummer straight from the hospy-tel.
There he is in France in his stinking underpants
He was aRock and roll drummer straight from the hospy-tel
Maybe there's a hope?
No oo oo oo ope.
Rock and roll drummer straight from the hospy-tel.
Rock and Roll Drummer Wooooo
Rock and Roll Drummer Wooooo
Rock and Roll Drummer straight from the hospy-tel.
Hope Hope Hope
Nope Nope Nope
Rock and Roll Drummer straight from the hospy-tel.
