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

And they told me pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
|
A new-born king to see pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
|
Our finest gifts we bring pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
|
Ra-pam-pam-pam, ra-pam-pam-pam
|
|
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?
