Tum, Tum, Tiddly

Can you hear the rhythm
The rhythm of a drum
It's easy to copy it
Tum Tum Tiddly, Tiddly Tum Tum

It is also easy
To imitate a bell
Tinkle TinkleTinkle
That goes very well

Also, you can Bang and Clang
Boom, Boom, Boom and Bong
That's not a bell of course
It sounds more like a Gong

A Flute is even easier
Just Toot, Toot, Toot, Toot
Everyone will cover their ears
And outside you'll have to scoot

A Tambourine is boring
All you have to do with it is shake
You would soon get tired of that
As it would make your poor arms ache

There's a lot of other instruments
You pluck and strum and blow
It would take a long time
For you to choose one so

There are just too many
For you to understand
And have to take lessons
To start playing in a band

Or play in an orchestra
That would be super good
Where every type of instrument
Plays music like it should
