[Intro]
I love it when it's loud, I love it when it's big
You can feel it in the crowd
Come on, bang dem sticks
I said I love it when it's loud, I love it when it's big
'Cause you can feel it in the crowd
Come on bang dem sticks

[Verse 1]
The dumb drummer, sicker than the swine flu
Don't really need medication, he got a tissue
And when he bang bangs, don't need to boogie
But he might be sweeter than my, my favorite cookie
When he plays, uh, he got a hold on me
In a race, yeah, he got the winning streak
And ain't nobody got a drummer like mine
He can bang dem sticks, he can throw dem high, ha!

[Chorus]
I got a thing for drummers, how the beat shakes up my heart
I got a thing for drummers
So baby, show off all dem tricks and bang dem sticks
I got a thing for drummers, how the beat shakes up my heart
I got a thing for drummers
So baby, show off all dem tricks and bang dem sticks

[Post-Chorus]
I love it when it's loud (I love it when it's loud)
I love it when it's big (I love it when it's big)
You can feel it in the crowd ('Cause you can feel it in the crowd)
Come on, bang dem sticks (Come on, bang dem sticks)
I said I love it when it's loud (I love it when it's loud)
I love it when it's big (I love it when it's big)
'Cause you can feel it in the crowd ('Cause you can feel it in the crowd)
Come on, bang dem sticks (Come on, bang dem sticks)
(Go bang dem sticks)

[Interlude: Meghan Trainor]
I don't think they're ready, it's okay
Ah-ah-ah

[Bridge]
Triplet, triplet, all that shit
He lookin' so good when he bang dem sticks
He can do the paradiddle with a little bit of samba
And all the girls scream "I want your drummer's number"

[Verse 2]
But wait a minute, what trick is going on?
You here to see M. Train because you love my songs
But there he go again with the double stroke
And I ain't talkin' dirty, I ain't makin' no jokes, nuh uh, nuh uh
And he can play all night
Whatever get you hype girls, whatever gets you high
'Cause ain't nobody got a drummer like mine
He can bang dem sticks, he can throw them high
Come on

[Chorus]
I got a thing for drummers
How the beat shakes up my heart (Oh yeah)
I got a thing for drummers
So baby, show off all dem tricks and bang dem sticks
I got a thing for drummers
How the beat shakes up my heart (Shakes up my heart)
I got a thing for drummers
So baby, show off all dem tricks and bang dem sticks

[Post-Chorus]
I love it when it's loud (I love it when it's loud)
I love it when it's big (Don't you love it when it's big?)
You can feel it in the crowd (You can feel it in the crowd)
Come on, bang dem sticks (Come on, bang dem sticks)
I said I love it when it's loud (I love it when it's loud)
(Come on) I love it when it's big (I love it when it's big)
'Cause you can feel it in the crowd ('Cause you can feel it, babe)
(You can feel it, babe) Come on, bang dem sticks
(Come on, bang dem sticks)
(Go bang dem sticks)

[Outro]
Hey
Hey, uh-ah
Come on and bang dem sticks (Hey)
(Hey) So baby, show off all dem tricks and bang dem sticks (Hey)
Ah, come on and bang dem sticks (Hey)
(Hey, hey)
Well everybody love the drummer

Meghan Trainor is a pop singer-songwriter from Nantucket. Before launching her solo career, she wrote songs for the likes of Sia and Sabrina Carpenter. She entered pop stardom with the controversial but danceable body-positivity anthem “All About That Bass,” which led her 2015 debut LP, Title.

In 2016, Meghan released her sophomore effort Thank You, which was preceded by the smash single “NO.” Peaking at #3 on the Hot 100, top 20 track “Me Too” & the reggae-influenced “Better” supported the release of the album.

Staying reasonably quiet in 2017, Trainor dropped the single “I’m A Lady” for the “The The Lost Village.” Trainor underwent vocal surgery during the year and needed time to rest her voice before returning to the limelight.
