My mother spent 10 years sitting by a window Scared if she spoke she would die of a heart attack She listened as her dreams silently screamed They drowned like little dolphins caught in a fishnet Dear world I'm pleased to meet you Hey everybody when you walk the walk You gotta back it all up you gotta talk the talk Hey everybody when I hear the knock Don't want to measure out my life to the tick of a clock Hey everybody when my daddy died He had a sad sad story written in his eyes Hey everybody when you walk the walk You cannot measure out your life to the tick of a clock I want to walk to the beat of my own drum I want to walk to the beat of my own drum Hey everybody Can you walk the walk you gotta back it all up But can you talk the talk Hey everybody Can you walk the walk? I want to walk to the beat of my own drum (Say what?) I want to walk to the beat of my own drum (Say what?) I want to walk to the beat of my own drum I want to live to the beat of my own drum I want to take to the beat of my own drum I want to hang ten, high, say pleased to meet you Give to the beat of my own drum I want to sing to the beat of my own drum I want to fly, cry, win, lose, live, die, take five Pleased to meet you My daddy spent 10 years living on the outside looking in He thought that he would never get back Watched his dream walk across a silver screen And he was standing there when the theatre went pitch black Dear world I'm pleased to meet you Hey everybody when I walk the walk I gotta back it all up I vgotta talk the talk Hey everybody when I hear the knock Don't want to measure out my life to the tick of a clock Hey everybody--can you walk the walk? I want to walk to the beat of my own drum (Say what?) I want to walk to the beat of my own drum (Say what?) I want to live to the beat of my own drum I want to laugh to the beat of my own drum I want to play to the beat of my own drum I want to hang ten, high, say pleased to meet you I want to screw up to the beat of my own drum I want to take it out of town and do it to my drum Scream shout Wipe out Make love to my baby It's a wonderful idea, but it doesn't work. My own drum my own beat Hey did you ever get the feeling that it's really a joke You think you've got it figured out and then you find that you don't So you say goodbye to the world and now you're floating in space You got no sense of nothing not even a time or a place Then suddenly you hear it it's the beat of your heart And for the first time in your life you know your life is about to start I want to walk to the beat of my own drum There's someone knocking in the wall, was it an echo? ba da pa pa
