hush hush little baby don’t you cry
hush hush little baby don’t you cry
daddy works in a rock and roll band
he’s a drummer man
plays all night in a crummy dive
down on lincoln street
living in a rat trap hassle and
ahustle with the welfare plan
lord it’s tough when you’re living with a dream
of a drummer man
hush hush little baby don’t you cry
don’t you know little baby bye and bye
daddy’s really going to make it big like ringo done
be a hollywood cat and live up
in the canyon where the sun shines
if we can just hold on till
we find that once in a lifetime plan
oh lord it hurts to be living with a dream
of a drummer man
he’s a drummer manthat’s what he is
and i love him so
and i clean his jeans
and i dry his tears
when the breaks don’t come and it ain’t no fun
he’s my man and he’s a real good drummer
it’s a bummer when you’ve got to play
the nickel and the dime
kind of job that don’t pay enough to buy a can of beans
chicken bone’s clean
hush hush little baby don’t you cry
hush hush little baby don’t you cry
daddy works in a rock and roll band
he’s a drummer man
he beats out time drinks a lot of bad
wine down on lincoln street
one day daddy’s going to be a star
but in the meantime
oh lord it’s tough to be living with a dream
of a drummer man
child it’s tough but your daddy is a dream
of a drummer man
