Peace On Earth - Little Drummer Boy Lyrics - David Bowie

Bowie: Hello... you the new butler? 

Crosby: Hahaha! Well, 

it's been a long time since I've been the new anything! 

Bowie: What's happened to Hudson? 

Crosby: I guess he's changing 

Bowie: Yeah, he does that a lot doesn't he? 

Umm... Oh, I'm David Bowie. I live down the road.* 

Crosby: Oh! 

Bowie: Sir Percival lets me use his piano 

when he's not around. He's not around, is he? 

Crosby: I can honestly say I haven't 

seen him, but come on it! Come on it! 

Bowie: But uh... 

Crosby: Come on in! 

Bowie: Are you related to Sir Percival? 

Crosby: Well, distantly... 

Bowie: Oh, you're not the poor relation from America, right? 

Crosby: Ha! Gee... news sure travels fast, doesn't it? I'm Bing 

Bowie: Oh, I'm pleased to meet you. You're the one that sings, right? 

Crosby: Well, right or wrong, I sing either way 

Bowie: Oh well, I sing too 

Crosby: Oh good! What kind of singing? 

Bowie: Mostly the contemporary stuff. 

Do you uh... do you like modern music? 

Crosby: Oh, I think it's marvelous! Some of it really fine. 

But tell me, have you ever listened to any of the older fellows? 

Bowie: Oh, yeah, sure. I like ah... 

John Lennon and the other one with eh... Harry Nielson 

Crosby: Mmm.you go back that far, huh?

Come they told me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum 

A newborn king to see pa-rum-pum-pum-pum 

Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum-pum-pum-pum 

Rum-pum-pum-pum, Rum-pum-pum-pum 

Peace on Earth can it be? 

(Come they told me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum) 

Years from now, perhaps we'll see? 

(A newborn king to see pa-rum-pum-pum-pum) 

See the day of glory 

(Our finest gift we bring pa-rum-pum-pum-pum) 

See the day, when men of good will 

(To lay before the king pa-rum-pum-pum-pum) 

Live in peace, live in peace again 

(Rum-pum-pum-pum, Rum-pum-pum-pum) 

Peace on Earth 

(So to honur him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum) 

Can it be 

(When we come) 

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 

(Little baby pa-rum-pum-pum-pum) 

For my child and your child too 

(I stood beside him there pa-rum-pum-pum-pum) 

He'll see the day of glory 

(I played my drum for him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum) 

See the day when men of good will 

(I played my best for him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum) 

Live in peace, live in peace again 

(Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum) 

Peace on Earth 

(Me and my drum) 

Can it be 

Can it be
