Lyrics

Rim Shot (Intro)

I want a rim shot, hey, digi, digi
A rim shot, hey, c'mon
A rim shot, hey, digi, digi
A rim shot, hey, c'mon
I want a rim shot, hey, digi, digi
A rim shot, hey, c'mon
I want a rim shot, hey, digi, digi
A rim shot, hey, c'mon

I came to hear the band today
I ain't thinking about you
I came to hear my drummer play
Boom-klat-boom-klat
I am in love with you
Cause of the things you do to me
When you boom-klat-boom-klat

I want a rim shot, hey, digi, digi
A rim shot, hey, c'mon
A rim shot, hey, digi, digi
A rim shot, hey, c'mon
I want a rim shot, hey, digi, digi
A rim shot, hey, c'mon
A rim shot, hey, digi, digi
A rim shot, hey, c'mon

Give it to me, give it to me
Boom-klat-boom-klat (Give it to me, give it to me)
Give it to me, give it to me (Oh, come on) boom-klat

Hit yo' stick up against that drum (boom-klat)
I wanna rim (boom-klat)
I want my rim shot
