Heart Of The Band
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.
4, 3, 2, 1, Go!
We all like to play in the band, uh-huh
We all like to play in the band, uh-huh
But the drummer is the heart of the band
The drummer is the soul of the band
The drummer is the core of the band, uh-huh
Even when we're playing
If the drums aren't playing
It's just like the song is standing still
Even when we're playing
If the drums aren't playing
It's just like the song is standing still
4, 3, 2, 1, Go!
Yes, we have guitar in the band
Yes, we have the bass in the band
But the drummer is the heart of the band
The drummer is the soul of the band
The drummer is the core of the band, uh-huh
Even when we're playing
If the drums aren't playing
It's just like the song is standing still
Even when we're playing
If the drums aren't playing
It's just like the song is standing still
4, 3, 2, 1, Go!
