The Little Drummer Boy Next Door Songtext
von Ray Stevens

What is this noise I hear
Rumpumpumpum
This pounding in my ear
Rumpumpumpum
Sounds exactly like an atom bomb
And I believe that it is coming from
Rumpumpumpum rumpumpumpum
Next door
It′s christmas morning a day of peace
But it sounds more like war in the middle east
I hear those rifle shots the cannons roar
I just don't know if I can take anymore
Of this noise of this drummer boy
Next door
Now there are lots of christmas presents to give to little boys
Toy trains and boats and planes and games that don′t make any noise
But if he had to have an instrument a keyboard would be good
He could practice with his headphones
There'd be peace in the neighborhood
Oh wait what is this silence Has he broken his arm
I really do not wish the boy any harm
Oh no I guess he was just taking a rest
I'm calling 911 to make an arrest
There′s no christmas joy with this drummer boy
Next door
I hear the drums go crashing into the street
His dad is screaming even he needs relief
Perhaps now he can finally get some sleep
And restore christmas as a day of peace
Ah- ah- ah- oh no what kind of a sadistic idiot
Would buy a kid a set of drums AND a trumpet for christmas
This is the- this is the last straw I′m calling my lawyer
I'm sorry but there should be some thoughts
About being a good neighbor here
Talk about inconsiderate this takes the prize
Ey- ey you tonedeaf little yard ey
Prepare to face charges
Gimme a break here this is-
