Ra Dee Day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
There was a little drummer boy, was under the army's employ
Drumming off leader's commands, he drummed for Ireland
He drummed for Ireland let's give the boy a hand
Protecting well his homeland, steadfast he sure would stand
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
There was a day in early may, the army got into a fray
Through thick and thin he stood and played, the drummer saved the day
The drummer saved the day, the men he surely swayed
The other army ran away, in part because he stayed
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
They marched on to his beat, triumphant down the street
But victory had been a deceit, they made a quick retreat
They made a quick retreat, an army at their feet
The drum was left down on the street, the drummer can't compete
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ran up against a wall, cornered they'd surely fall
The patriotic drummer boy he knew his duty called
He knew his duty called, forward he soon had crawled
Grabbed a gun from colonel Paul, he grabbed a musket ball
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Not much older than nine, the boy he held the line
The army overwhelmed the line in heaven he would dine
In heaven he would dine, twas all in God's design
The brave courageous drummer boy fought on the battle line
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
There was a little drummer boy, was under the army's employ
Drumming off leader's commands, he drummed for Ireland
He drummed for Ireland let's give the boy a hand
Protecting well his homeland, steadfast he sure would stand
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
There was a day in early may, the army got into a fray
Through thick and thin he stood and played, the drummer saved the day
The drummer saved the day, the men he surely swayed
The other army ran away, in part because he stayed
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day

But victory had been a deceit, they made a quick retreat
They made a quick retreat, an army at their feet
The drum was left down on the street, the drummer can't compete

Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
Ra dee day, da dee da day, ra dee da da dee da da dee da day
