lyrics

I can walk down the street and always have a drum with me
I play it at the show and they say it sounds pretty
for some strange reason, not everybody can see it
I play it when I’m singing and I clean it while I’m breathing
Got a sound like (snare) and a sound like (cowbell)
If you put them both together, then it’s (beatbox riff)
It took a lot of practice and it started as a hobby
and now I got twenty different drums in my body

It’s the Beatbox!
The Human-Beatbox!

I can make people groove cause it sound so smooth
with the (beatbox riff)
and then bring it back while I bust a rap
and I can keep it going cause it’s cool like that
the beatbox, it started…
let’s say, in the eighties
people heard the sounds with the mouth and said that’s crazy
and you can make the sounds with the letters in the alphabet
like Ps and Bs and Ts and other things
from clock sounds and doorbell rings
you see, the beatbox it uses all types of things
now, we can make it go fast or make it go slow
it’s so versatile that we can make it do both

It’s the Beatbox!
The Human-Beatbox! 

We all have a million drums that’s inside our chest
but be careful when you use them
you can run out of breath
I can easily cough and throw the beatbox off
or mix the beat with the cough and the problem is solved

It’s the Beatbox!
The Human-Beatbox!
