lyrics

In Palmy North did Kublai Khan,
a stately rocking dome decree.
He had no musos,
that's why he called on me.

Won't you bring me some grunt?
Bring me some grime.
Won't you bring me a drummer who plays in time?

Chorus:
Won't you bring me some rock (x3)
Won't you bring me a drummer who plays in time?

From every corner of the rocking world,
musos ventured forth.
Kublai sat on his carvéd throne,
enjoying all the sport.
Chorus.

Voiceover:
Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Radio Kublai Khan.
If we khan play it, you khan hear it.
That's why we called in the Bing Turkby Ensemble,
all the way from Turakina!
We're out here running with the vanquishing hordes,
trying not to get bored,
polishing our swords.
We just wanna hear some rock'n'roll.
Can you bring it?
Chorus
Bring me some drums!
Bring me some bass!
Bring me some sax!
Bring me some me!
Won't you bring me a drummer who plays in time?
