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
