The Little Drummer Boy - Merry Christmas 2012

Hi,

Here is to put you in the mood for Christmas.

You can listen to each of the renditions of this popular song.

You can sing along with the lyrics at the bottom.

Merry Christmas to all of you from Philip, Ramya, Ajith, Queenie, Seniru and Senuja, Charaka and Lydia Shiranie.

"The Little Drummer Boy" (originally known as "Carol of the Drum") is a popular Christmas song written by the American classical music composer and teacher Katherine Kennicott Davis in 1941. It was recorded in 1955 by the Trapp Family Singers and further popularized by a 1958 recording by the Harry Simeone Chorale. This version was re-released successfully for several years and the song has been recorded many times since.

In the lyrics the singer relates how, as a poor young boy, he was summoned by the Magi to the nativity where, without a gift for the infant Jesus, he played his drum with the Virgin Mary's approval, remembering "I played my best for Him" and "He smiled at me".

Little Drummer Boy: Lyrics

Come, they told me

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Our newborn King to see

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Our finest gifts we bring

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

To lay before the King

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Rum, pa, pum, pum, rum, pa, pum, pum

So to honor Him

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

When we come

Little Baby

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

I am a poor boy too

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

I have no gift to bring

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

That's fit to give a King

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Rum, pa, pum, pum, rum, pa, pum, pum

Shall I play for You

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

On my drum, on my drum

I played my drum for Him

For You honored me

Mary nodded

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

The ox and lamb kept time

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

I played my drum for Him

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

I played my best for Him

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Rum, pa, pum, pum, rum, pa, pum, pum

Then He smiled at me

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Me and my drum

When we come

Me and my drum

			DNR - Do not resuscitate

Last night I was sitting in the living room, talking to my wife about life... In-between, we talked about the idea of living or dying. I told her : Never let me live in a vegetative state, totally dependent on machines and liquids from a bottle. If you see me in that state I want you to disconnect all the contraptions that are keeping me alive, I'd much rather die'. My wife got up from the sofa with this real look of admiration towards me and proceeded to disconnect the TV, the Cable, the Dish, the DVD, the Computer, the Cell Phone, the iPod, and the Xbox, and then went to the bar and threw away all my whisky, rum, gin, vodka & the beer in the fridge... I ALMOST DIED!! Moral: 1. Think about what you wish for.. 2. The female brain works on a different wavelength from the male's

Dear Philip

It has only just come to my attention that Derek has been appointed AO, Officer of the Australian Order.  This is an honour conferred by the Queen of Australia (QE II).  There is only one honour higher than this – the AC i.e. Commander

Regards,
Sunil
