Emma: I am a fine musician
I practice every day
People come from miles around
just to hear me play
Lachy and Simon: What do you play?
Emma: I play the drums
Drums, drums, rum-a-tum-tum
Rat-a-tat-tat, rum-a-tum-tum
Drums, drums, rum-a-tum-tum
Rum-a-tum-tum, tum-tum
(Drum solo)
He (Anthony) is a fine musician
He practices every day
People come from miles around
just to hear him play
Lachy and Simon: What does he play?
Emma: He plays the banjo
Plink, plink, plinkety-plonk
Plinkety-plonk, plinkety-plonk
Plink, plink, plinkety-plonk
Plinkety-plonk, plonk-plonk

The cowbell, the bagpipes
The didgeridoo
Hey!
