I was born <br />Behind a drum kit <br />At a comedy club <br />Called, 'Chuckles.' <br /> <br />It was tough; <br />It was rough; <br />Mammy had white knuckles. <br /> <br />As I entered onto the stage, <br />Mother held drum sticks <br />Tightly in her hand. <br />The room was full of comedians <br />I'll have you understand. <br /> <br />'You have a baby girl, ' <br />Was what the doctor sang, <br />Then all the comics in the room <br />Yelled, 'Let's call her Ting Bang! ' <br /> <br />Ting Bang is the rim shot sound <br />Drummers use to punctuate jokes. <br />It seemed like the thing to say <br />When surrounded by these folks. <br /> <br />So it was <br />And so it is <br />And I won't pass the buck. <br />Clowns named me Ting Bang <br />And the title stuck.<br /><br />Ting Bang Bong<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-ballad-of-ting-bang/
