| 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 wanna 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 wanna walk to the beat of my own drum | |
| I wanna 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 wanna walk to the beat of my own drum | |
| (Say what?) | |
| I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum | |
| (Say what?) | |
| I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum | |
| I wanna live to the beat of my own drum | |
| I wanna take to the beat of my own drum | |
| I wanna hang ten, high, say pleased to meet you | |
| Give to the beat of my own drum | |
| I wanna sing to the beat of my own drum | |
| I wanna 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 wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock | |
| Hey everybody--can you walk the walk? | |
| I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum | |
| (Say what?) | |
| I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum | |
| (Say what?) | |
| I wanna live to the beat of my own drum | |
| I wanna laugh to the beat of my own drum | |
| I wanna play to the beat of my own drum | |
| I wanna hang ten, high, say pleased to meet you | |
| I wanna screw up to the beat of my own drum | |
| I wanna take it out of town and do it to my drum | |
| Scream shout | |
| Wipe out | |
| Make love to my baby | |
| Father: 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 wanna walk to the beat of my own drum | |
| Daughter: | |
| There's someone knocking in the wall, was it an echo? ba da pa pa |
