The Drums of the Rain

The drum is our big windowpane. The drumsticks are the drops of rain. "Rat-a-tat-tat! Rat-a-tat-tat! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The drums, the drums are beating, And filling all the room! "Boom, boom, boom! Rat-a-tat-tat! Rat-a-tat-tat! Boom!" The snare drums are the raindrops That rattle in the room; The thunder is the big, round drum That says, "Boom! Boom!" We're happy when a rainstorm comes, Because it brings the drums, the drums!
