[Intro]
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?
Bowie: Yeah, I'm not as young as I look
Crosby: Haha! None of us is these days
Bowie: In fact, I got a six year old son and he gets really excited around the holiday Christmas holiday-thing
Crosby: Do you go in for any of the traditional things in the Bowie household, Christmas time?
Bowie: Oh, yeah, most of them really. Presents, a tree, decorations, agents sliding down the chimney...
Crosby: What?
Bowie: I was just seeing if you were paying attention
Crosby: Haha!
Bowie: Actually our family do most of the things other families do. We sing the same songs
Crosby: Do you?
Bowie: Oh, I even have a go at 'White Christmas'
Crosby: You do, huh?
Bowie: And this one. This is my son's favourite. Do you know this one?
Crosby: 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 honur 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]
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
[Outro: Bowie and Crosby in unison]
Can it be
