Lyrics A Lesson In Rythm - Bhakti Rasa dasa

So I'd like to give you all a lesson in rhythm if I may
Ah, perhaps you could all move in a bit closer so I don't have to shout through this Microphone

Yeah, yeah that's much better
Thank you

Now we're going to kick off our lesson with a bass drum
Otherwise known as a kick drum
Thank you

Now you're going to need a high hat if you want to keep that together
Add the high hat please

Now you, yes you in the corner
Can you add hand claps to that please
Not bad, bit plastic

Ah you, yes you can you give that wood block a bit of a tinkle
Now we're going to add a big fat snare to make it really move

Okay, moving

Now a roll on the toms, electric toms to give it that funky sound
Alright

Now you, can you give that tambourine a little bit of a shake
Tambourine
The round wooden thing with the milk bottle tops
Shake it

Now can you add a backbeat to that bass drum
Yeap
Great

Now do we have a bass guitar
Thank you

Now a nasty lead guitar would be really nice
Is there a nasty guitar in the room
Oh, you've got one
Okay let's hear it
Ooh nasty
Ah that's a bit too nasty for dancing
Can you turn that into a nasty rhythm guitar
Very good

Now can you give that piano a bash
Yeah, just bash it

Now we've got rhythm, we just need a little soul
Girls, you're on, add the soul

Girls? Thank you

Okay, ah give me a little space so I can
Thank you

Now we've got rhythm and we've got soul
But what's the use of the soul without the almighty Lord
Let me introduce you to the almighty Lord

Om purnam ada purnamidam
Purnat purnam udacyate
Purnasya purnamadaya
Purnameva vasisyate

Om purnam ada purnamidam
Purnat purnam udacyate
Purnasya purnamadaya
Purnameva vasisyate

I said, the personality of godhead the almighty lord is perfect and complete
And because he is completely perfect, all emanations from him
Such as this phenomenal world are perfectly equipped as complete wholes
Whatever is produced of the complete whole is also complete itself
Because he is the complete whole, even though so many complete units
Emanate from him, he remains a complete balance

Two, three, four
