Lin-Manuel Miranda
My Own Drum
[Chorus]
I bounce to the beat of my own drum
I'm a wow in a world full of ho-hum
I'm a wild young lady, but you know sum'?
I'd rather be at home with my own drum
[Chorus]
I bounce to the beat of my own drum
I'm a wow in a world full of ho-hum
I'm a wild young lady, but you know sum'?
I'd rather be at home with my own drum
[Verse]
I had a violin, but I wrecked the rental
I play the tambourine and I'm never gentle
See what I mean? That was accidental
But now that we're a team, we'll be instrumental
Instrumental, ha!
See what I did there?
I made a pun, ha!
I'm having fun, ha!
I'm never done, ha!
I'm just a one young woman
Ba rum pa pum pum
[Chorus]
I bounce to the beat of my own drum
I'm a wow in a world full of ho-hum
I'm a wild young lady, but you know sum'?
I'd rather be at home with my own drum
[Verse 2]
Extra, extra! Read all about it
I'm extra, extra
The kid that the other kids
Can't get next to
I got my own seat on the bus
I've always been a me, not an us
[Verse 3]
"You're at a ten"
"I need you at a three, ha!
Try that again
I gotta be me, yo
I am a ten
I gotta be free
And I got a friend
We're a team and we...
[Chorus]
Bounce to the beat of our own drum
We're a wow in a world full of ho-hum
I'm a wild young lady, but you know sum'?
I'd rather be at home with my own drum
[Verse 4]
Solo!
Ha! Now that's a solo
I've always flown solo
I speed up when the world's in slo-mo
Make it up as I go when I don't know
And I know
I know it seems like I'm lonely
People assume that I'm lonely
Look at this room
And assume that you know me, homey
You don't know me
I'm in the zone!
[Chorus]
We bounce to the beat of our own drum
We're a wow in a world full of ho-hum
I'm a wild young lady, but you know sum'?
I'd rather be at home with my own drum
We bounce to the beat of our own drum
We're a wow in a world full of ho-hum
I'm a wild young lady, but you know sum'?
I'd rather be at home with my own drum
[Verse 6]
Bounce!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Bounce!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Bounce!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Bounce!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
[Outro]
Where'd you go, huh?
