My dad was in the Royal Regiment of Artillery and used to sing to me "Little drummer girl you're all the world to me, dressed up in your daddy's soldiers clothes, Little drummer girl just climb upon my knee and rest your weary head in sweet repose, The day has ended little drummer girl,lights out has sounded long ago, So close your eyes my little drummer girl and say goodnight to all your friends and foe. Revallie will sound in the morning, once more on parade you must go, So close your eyes my little drummer girl, and say goodnight to all your friends and foe.
