Mickey Hart (born Michael Steven Hartman, September 11, 1943) is an American percussionist and musicologist. He is best known as one of the two drummers of the rock band Grateful Dead. He was a member of the Grateful Dead from September 1967 to February 1971 and from October 1974 to August 1995. He and fellow Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann earned the nickname "the rhythm devils".
Michael Steven Hartman was born in Brooklyn and grew up on Long Island attending Lawrence High School before dropping out as a senior and leaving for Europe.
Hart became interested in percussion as a grade-school student. A few months out of high school he discovered the work of Nigerian drummer Babatunde Olatunji. Olatunji later taught Hart and collaborated with Hart and the Grateful Dead on a regular basis.
Before joining the Grateful Dead, Hart and his father, Leonard Hart, a champion rudimental drummer, owned and operated Hart Music, selling drums and musical instruments in San Carlos, California.
Oh…ho…oh…oh…
Oh…ooh…
So you don't wanna talk to me
Just don't even call me anymore
Though you don't call me anymore
I sit and wait in vain
I guess I'll rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I wanna tell you, baby
The changes I've been goin' through
Missin' you, missin' you
Until you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
Why did you have to decide
You had have to set me free, baby
I guess I'll swallow my pride
Beggin' you, baby, baby, baby, please see me
I'm gonna walk by myself
Just to prove my love is true, whoa, for you, baby
Until you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
Living without you might be
Livin' in a world of constant tears
Hear my please, I've got to make you see
Our love is dying
Oh, boy, your phone you ignore, somehow I must
Somehow I must, I must explain
I guess I'll rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
And I'm gonna sit by your steps
Until I get through to you
I've got to show it to you, baby
Until you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do, babe
Until you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do, my love, my love, my love
Until you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna rap on your door
Tap on your window pane, baby, baby
I'm gonna rap on your door
Tap on your, tap on your, tap on your, tap on your window
I'm gonna rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I'm gonna rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I'm gonna rap on your door
Rat-tat knock-knock on your window pane
I'll be there, I'll be there day and night
I'll be there night and day
Oh, I'm gonna rap on your pane
