No Replies Log in to reply. There was an error. Song Meaning The song is sung from the viewpoint of the Tenor Drum. It's owner has gone off to fight in a war and it is wondering when he will be back to play it again.
It is lonely and lamenting how rusty and dusty it is becoming. Also, billy-a-dick tick tack is a stylized way of wording the sound the drum makes when it is played That's a stretch.
Def hard to see how u arrived at that interpretation. Song Meaning Just as with so many wonderful pieces in the American Songbook, one should not overlook the oh-so-lightly veiled sexual connotations of these lyrics.
The narrator downstairs hears a tell-tale rhythm, which of course he interprets as a drum, but the pining for the paramour who's off to war, the image of the train, how he's going to "roll, roll, roll" with his "jumpin' joy"--you need not widen your interpretation too much!
