The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I bounce to the beat of my own drum

I'm a wow in a world full of ho-hum

I'm a wild young lady, but you know 'sum?

I'd rather be at home with my own drum

I bounce to the beat of my own drum

I'm a wow in a world full of ho-hum

I'm a wild young lady, but you know 'sum?

I'd rather be at home with my own drum

I had a violín but I wrecked the rental

I play the tamborine and I'm never gentle

Oh! See what I mean, that was accidental

But now that we're a team, we'll be instrumental

Ha! See what I did there, I made a pun

Ha! I'm having fun

Ha! I'm never done

Ha! I'm just a one young woman

I bounce to the beat of my own drum

I'm a wow in a world full of ho-hum

I'm a wild young lady, but you know 'sum?

I'd rather be at home with my own drum

Extra, extra

Read all about it, I am

Extra, extra

The kid that the other kids can't get next to

I got my own seat on the bus

I've always been a me not an us

You're at a ten, I need you at a three

Ha! Try that again, I gotta be me

I am a ten

I gotta be free

And I, I gotta friend

We're a team, and we

Bounce to the beat of my own drum

We're a wow in a world full of ho-hum

I'm a wild young lady, but you know 'sum?

I'd rather be at home with my own drum

Everybody bounce when they see me come

I come through dressed like a showroom

Who flyer than me? Oh, no one!

'Cause I brr brr brr-ah to my own drum

Turn it up loud, you can call me wild child

I ain't nothin' like them others, got my own style

Anyone know how I do it?

Well here's how

Da da da da da da

Let me break it down

Lemme break it down

'Cause I get busy when I write

You know I got the style

And copy-cats, they want to bite

Walk to the stage and all you see is flashing lights

Everybody scream like I'm janet and mike

Get crazy with it

Once you meet me, no you won't forget me

I'm in my own lane and I won't be quittin'

And make bounce, bounce, bounce to the beat we litty

We bounce to the beat of my own drum

We're a wow in a world full of ho-hum

I'm a wild young lady, but you know 'sum?

I'd rather be at home with my own drum

Ha! Now that's a solo

I've always flow solo

I speed up when the world's in slo-mo

Make it up as I go when I don't know

And I know, I know it seems like I'm lonely

People assume that I'm lonely

Look at this room and assume that you know me

Homie, you don't know me, I'm in the zone

We bounce to the beat of my own drum

We're a wow in a world full of ho-hum

I'm a wild young lady, but you know 'sum?

I'd rather be at home with my own drum

We bounce to the beat of my own drum

We're a wow in a world full of ho-hum

I'm a wild young lady, but you know 'sum?

I'd rather be at home with my own drum

Bounce

Bounce

Bounce

Bounce
