Pedro The Lion – First Drum Set

Pedro The Lion – First Drum Set Lyrics

Artist: Pedro The Lion
Song: First Drum Set

I played the clarinet since fourth grade
A long time to wait for love
Cause ever since Beverly Hills Cop
The Heat Is On, I longed

For the saxophone
My dad’s concern was that the embouchure
Was easy and might make my lips too weak
To ever play a woodwind in an orchestra

An experience he wanted for me
After three years it was time to switch to saxophone
But the band director shook his head, forget it
I’m up to my ears in tenors and altos

And you’re solid on the clarinet
With tears in my eyes I looked up at my dad
Who looked back at the band director
Don’t you have any other openings

He replied, I could use another drummer
I looked at my dad, he looked at me
I nodded my head & he agreed
To trade in my clarinet

To get my first drum set
You know I couldn’t even play a beat yet
But I lugged it back to my room
Made it boom crack boom

All afternoon
I had no regrets
For trading in my clarinet
To get my first drum set

To get my first drum set
To get my first drum set
I showed up early to the band room
And heard some kid land a fill into a beat

Oh how I pestered that poor drummer
Begging him to show me repeatedly
To play sports about my feelings
Being in my body not my head

Oh it still sets my heart a reeling
I would already be dead without
My first drum set
I couldn’t even play a beat yet

But I lugged it back to my room
Made it boom crack boom
All afternoon
I got no regrets

For trading in my clarinet
To get my first drum set
To get my first drum set
To get my first drum set
