Ode to Joseph
You are a little drummer boy
Grown up and out of childhood toys
You play with soul with all of your heart -
You had the passion right from the start!
Grown up and out of childhood toys
You play with soul with all of your heart -
You had the passion right from the start!
From tapping fingers and banging feet -
You had rhythm from your baby seat!
Coloured sticks with infantile drums,
Children’s T.V. you sang and hummed.
You had rhythm from your baby seat!
Coloured sticks with infantile drums,
Children’s T.V. you sang and hummed.
As different music filled your ears
Varied genre throughout the years;
Ear-splitting music and heavy rock-
You danced to Blue Monday from your cot!
Varied genre throughout the years;
Ear-splitting music and heavy rock-
You danced to Blue Monday from your cot!
You’ve filmed your talent on a cam-
You will surely be a drummer man!
The blood of music flows to your wrists
You are a born percussionist!
You will surely be a drummer man!
The blood of music flows to your wrists
You are a born percussionist!
From every morning to each night
You play until it sounds just right!
The concentration on your face
Until each beat is in its place.
You play until it sounds just right!
The concentration on your face
Until each beat is in its place.
From Slipknot, Maximo Park and Muse
You practice till your fingers bruise!
You play your drums to every one -
You are our clever maestro son!
You practice till your fingers bruise!
You play your drums to every one -
You are our clever maestro son!
For Joseph, Happy 12 birthday,
Lots of love,
Mum and Dad
