A Little Drummer Boy

#maid #school #shoes #darkness

a little drummer boy
a little drummer boy
He was cast into the shades
With no place to stay
He wept all night and he wept all day

He was found by a maid
Who had no dime to spare

He went into the school
Without wearing any shoes
He made it through the first grade
Unlike three of his classmates

He found rat poison in his home
And used it on these clowns

One night he climbed into the bed
Of this sweet and innocent maid
They cuddled close and held each other tight

When she refused him, he went mad
And clubbed her to her death

With no place left to go
He turned towards the war
He made it through by banging his drum
And banging every girl on the run

One time he just went too far
And a victim found out who he was

She followed him secretely around
And she got hold of one of his sticks
In darkness she sat alone with a knife
And sharpened the drum stick razor-sharp

He was found stabbed repeatedly
A drum stick stuck in his head
