Written/sung by Fred LeBlanc
Unreleased
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
C=x32010 B=x24442
All verses, intro, outro, etc. are Em-A. Two guitars play at the same
time, one plays Em=0220xx, A=x02220
and the other Em=779967, A=577655
The chorus is (not sure of the words):
C B Em
But at night when curtains swirl around the world
C -B- Em
And when its time he's dancing begins to swirl
C -B- Em
Don't they know they lay a hand upon a sleeping world
C B (n.c.)
So let's have a hand, for the drummer man
Lyrics ( as best as I can hear them on the live tape I have)
Willie do and Willie don't Willie will and Willie won't
Willy takes his time when he's playing drums
Ace's high and Jack's a queen Tell your woman where you've been
I'm sweating down the head and my eyes feel stung
But at night when curtains swirl around the world
And when its time he's dancing begins to swirl
Don't they know they lay a hand upon a sleeping world
So let's have a hand, for the drummer man
Willie turns the Beatles on Willie knows when he is on
He can feel the gound shake underneath his feet
Willie leads his calverade Dinking beer not Gator-ade
Just wanting to make some money in your beats
But at night when curtains swirl around the world
And when its time he's dancing begins to swirl
Don't they know they lay a hand upon a sleeping world
So let's have a hand, for the drummer man
Whoah oh oh oh oh (4 times)
Willie turns the Beaktes on Willie knows when he is on
He can feel the ground shake underneath his feet
Willie knows he's doing good He belongs in Hollywood
He get all the rhythm when the pretty girls ask him please
But at night when curtains swirl around the world
And when its time he's dancing begins to swirl
Don't they know they lay a hand upon a sleeping world
So let's have a hand, for the drummer man
Whoah oh oh oh oh (4 times)
