Billy And His Drum

    By James Whitcomb Riley



    Ho! it's come, kids, come!
    "With a bim! bam! bum!
    Here's little Billy bangin' on his big bass drum!
    He's a-marchin' round the room,
    With his feather-duster plume
    A-noddin' an' a-bobbin' with his bim! bom! boom!

    Looky, little Jane an' Jim!
    Will you only look at him,
    A-humpin' an' a-thumpin' with his bam! bom! bim!
    Has the Day o' Judgment come
    Er the New Mi-len-nee-um?
    Er is it only Billy with his bim! bam! bim!


    I 'm a-comin'; yes, I am -
    Jim an' Sis, an' Jane an' Sam!
    We'll all march off with Billy an' his bom! bim! bam!
    Come hurrawin' as you come,
    Er they'll think you're deef-an'-dumb
    Ef you don't hear little Billy an' his big bass drum!
