My Friend the Drum
Bonnie Lockhart

Listen to this song.

Bonnie Lockhart performs this song on Dreams, Drums & Green Thumbs.

      This song can be sung to many lively dance rhythms from calypso to samba, or to a simple beat
made on an oatmeal container. Try singing it as a line-by-line call and resonse: My
friend the drum, (my friend the drum), She likes to have fun (she likes to have fun) etc.

My friend the drum, she likes to have fun,

And she can tell you where she's coming from.

She likes to sing, she likes to play,

And she can tell you what we're doing today.

 

She says stand up, she says to hop,

She says to stretch, she says to stop.

She says to turn, she says to bend,

She says to dance, now wave to your friend.

She tells me please, bend your knees,

Sit down on the floor, and sing it some more.

La la la la. . .
