Drummer  Girl

(Jenny Lynn Kliebert – E.D. White Catholic High – 1997)

 I once knew a Drummer Girl.
A very cute girl in a boy’s world.

 Ambition and Courage she possessed.
I’ve never seen another show her best!

 Performance in Noah’s Ark, Hook and the Mission.
She practiced hard to maintain her position.

 From Timpani to Snare, Quads and Bass.
This Girl Drum Captain has surely earned her place.

 Guys frown.  They can’t believe their site.
She looks back.  I’m a girl, that’s right!

 Often looked down upon..... this girl in a boys world.
Is it envy, jealousy or fright?

 Oh yes, she’s remembered it is often said.
Everywhere she goes - she’s remembered all right......
It’s “That Girl Drummer from E.D. White!”
