Ho! it's come, kids, come! <br />'With a bim! bam! bum! <br />Here's little Billy bangin' on his big bass drum! <br />He's a-marchin' round the room, <br />With his feather-duster plume <br />A-noddin' an' a-bobbin' with his bim! bom! boom! <br /> <br />Looky, little Jane an' Jim! <br />Will you only look at him, <br />A-humpin' an' a-thumpin' with his bam! bom! bim! <br />Has the Day o' Judgment come <br />Er the New Mi-len-nee-um? <br />Er is it only Billy with his bim! bam! bim! <br /> <br />I 'm a-comin'; yes, I am-- <br />Jim an' Sis, an' Jane an' Sam! <br />We'll all march off with Billy an' his bom! bim! bam! <br />Come _hurrawin'_ as you come, <br />Er they'll think you're deef-an'-dumb <br />Ef you don't hear little Billy an' his big bass drum!<br /><br />James Whitcomb Riley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/billy-and-his-drum/
