Peace on Earth / Little Drummer Boy
Bing Crosby & David Bowie
[Intro: Bowie and Crosby]
Hello. You the new butler?
Ha ha ha! Well, it's been a long time since I've been the new anything!
What's happened to Hudson?
I guess he's changing
Yeah, he does that a lot doesn't he? Um... Oh, I'm David Bowie. I live down the road
Oh!
Sir Percival lets me use his piano when he's not around. He's not around, is he?
I can honestly say I haven't seen him, but come on it! Come on it!
But uh...
Come on in!
Are you related to Sir Percival?
Well, distantly...
Oh, you're not the poor relation from America, right?
Ha! Gee...news sure travels fast, doesn't it? I'm Bing
Oh, I'm pleased to meet you. You're the one that sings, right?
Well, right or wrong, I sing either way
Oh well, I sing too
Oh good! What kind of singing?
Mostly the contemporary stuff. Do you, uh, do you like modern music?
Oh, I think it's marvelous! Some of it really fine. But tell me, have you ever listened to any of the older fellows?
Oh, yeah, sure. I like, ah, John Lennon and the other one with eh, Harry Nilsson
Mmm..you go back that far, huh?
Yeah, I'm not as young as I look
Haha! None of us is these days
In fact, I got a six year old son and he gets really excited around the holiday Christmas holiday thing
Do you go in for any of the traditional things in the Bowie household, Christmas time?
Oh, yeah, most of them really. Presents, a tree, decorations, agents sliding down the chimney...
What?
I was just seeing if you were paying attention
Ha ha!
Actually our family do most of the things other families do. We sing the same songs
Do you?
Oh, I even have a go at 'White Christmas'
You do, huh?
And this one. This is my son's favourite. Do you know this one?
Oh, I do indeed, it's a lovely thing
[Verse 1: Bowie and Crosby]
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

[Verse 2: Bowie and Crosby]
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 honour him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Can it be
When we come

[Bridge: Bowie and Crosby in unison]
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
[Verse 4: Bowie and Crosby]
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
Then he smiled at me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Peace on Earth
Me and my drum
Can it be

[Outro: Bowie and Crosby in unison]
