Cobb the Drummer - I Wanna Be John Bonham Lyrics

After school at home and I'm chilling with my friends
One kid played a movie that I had to see again
1 9 7 0 Royal Albert hall
Thousands of hippie kids having themselves a ball
Up on stage they looked like giants
Especially one dude so defiant
He sat behind the drums and he had a mustache
John Henry Bonham's making the dash

There's nothing more I want than just to be John Bonham
There's nothing more I want than just to be John Bonham
There's nothing more I want than just to be John Bonham
There's nothing more I want than just to be

I picked up my sticks and learned when the levee breaks
I learned his licks without taking a break
Bucket of fish bucket of fish bucketobucketobap
Triplet triplet triplet triplet triplet ba pom bo bap
Everything he did really blew mind
I searched for every record that he played on I could find
I copied his style and I grew out my hair
Hitting the drums as hard as I can screaming like a bear

There's nothing more I want than just to be John Bonham
There's nothing more I want than just to be John Bonham
There's nothing more I want than just to be John Bonham
There's nothing more I want than just to be

One day I was watching drumming videos
When I saw a funky drummer who had a lot of crazy soul
His name was Bernard Purdie and boy I was amazed
That's the same drum beat as Led Zeppelin's "Fool in the Rain"
It just so happens he was playing in my town
I took a drum lesson from him, yes it was profound
It's fun to drum crazy and sublime
But most important you better be keeping time

There's nothing more I want than to be Bernard Purdie
There's nothing more I want than to be Bernard Purdie
There's nothing more I want than to be Bernard Purdie
There's nothing more I want than to be

Now that I'm older, I have formed own style
It was fun to imitate my drumming heroes for a while
But most important is to be your self
Express your own voice and don't leave it on the shelf
No I'll never be never be John Bonham
No I'll never be never be John Bonham
But do not worry to me that's not a bummer
I've said before, I'll say it again, I said I'm Cobb the Drummer
