Bowie, David and Bing Crosby Little Drummer Boy Lyrics

David Bowie:
Hello...you're the new butler?
Bing Crosby:
Ha ha ha! Well, it's been a long time since I've been the new anything!
David Bowie:
What's happened to Hudson?
Bing Crosby:
I guess he's changing.
David Bowie:
Yeah, he does that a lot, doesn't he? Um...Oh, I'm David Bowie, I live down the road.
Bing Crosby:
Oh!
David Bowie:
Sir Percival let's me use his piano if he's not around. He's not around, is he?
Bing Crosby:
I can honestly say I haven't seen him, but come on in! Come in!
David Bowie:
But uh...
Bing Crosby:
Come on in!
David Bowie:
Are you related to sir Percival?
Bing Crosby:
Well, distantly...
David Bowie:
Oh, you're not the poor relation from America, right?
Bing Crosby:
Ha! Gee...news sure travels fast, doesn't it? I'm Bing.
David Bowie:
Oh, I'm pleased to meet you. You're the one that sings, right?
Bing Crosby:
Well, right or wrong, I sing either way.
David Bowie:
Oh well, I sing too.
Bing Crosby:
Oh good! What kind of singing?
David Bowie:
Mostly the contemporary stuff. Do you, eh...do you like modern music?
Bing Crosby:
Oh, I think it's marvelous! Some of it's really fine. But tell me, have you ever
listened to any of the older fellows?
David Bowie:
Oh, yeah, sure. I like ah...John Lennon and the other one with eh...Harry Nilsson.
Bing Crosby:
Mmm...you go back that far, uh?
David Bowie:
Yeah, I'm not as young as I look.
Bing Crosby:
Ha ha, none of us is these days!
David Bowie:
In fact I've got a six year old son. And he really gets excited around the Christmas
holiday thing.
Bing Crosby:
Do you go in for anything of the traditional things in the...Bowie household, Christmas
time?
David Bowie:
Oh yeah, most of them really. Presents, tree, decorations, agents sliding down the
chimney...
Bing Crosby:
What?
David Bowie:
Oh, I was just seeing if you were paying attention.
Bing Crosby:
Ha ha!
David Bowie:
Actually, our family do most of the things that other families do. We sing the same
songs.
Bing Crosby:
Do you?
David Bowie:
Oh, I even have a go at 'White Christmas'.
Bing Crosby:
You do, eh!
David Bowie:
And this one. This is my son's favorite. Do you know this one?
Bing Crosby:
Oh, I do indeed, it's a lovely theme.

And they told me pa rum pum pum pum
A new born king to see pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring pa rum pum pum pum
Ra pum pum pum pum, ra pum pum pum pum

Peace on Earth, can it be
Years from now, perhaps we'll see
See the day of glory
See the day, when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again

Peace on Earth, can it be

Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can

I pray my wish will come true
For my child and your child, too
He'll see the day of glory
See the day when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again

Peace on Earth, can it be
Can it be

BC:
It's a pretty theme, isn't it?
