Diálogos da cena
David: Hello...... you're the new butler?
Bing: Hahaha! Well, it's been a long time since I've been the new anything!
David: What's happened to Hudson?
Bing: I guess he's changing.
David: Yeah, he does that a lot, doesn't he? Uhm... Oh, I'm David Bowie, I live down the road.
Bing: Oh!
David: Sir Percival let me use his piano when he's not around. He's not around, is he?
Bing: I can honestly say I haven't seen him, but come on in! Come on in!
David: But uh...
Bing: Come on in!
David: Are you related to sir Percival?
Bing: Well, distantly...
David: Oh, you're not the poor relation from America, right?
Bing: Ha! Gee... news sure travels fast, doesn't it? I'm Bing.
David: Oh, I'm pleased to meet you. You're the one that sings, right?
Bing: Well, right or wrong, I sing either way.
David: Oh well, I sing too.
Bing: Oh good! What kind of singing?
David: Mostly the contemporary stuff. Do you uh... do you like modern music?
Bing: Oh, I think it's marvellous! Some of it really fine. But tell me, have you ever listened to any of the older fellows?
David: Oh yeah, sure. I like ah... John Lennon and the other one with eh...Harry Nielson.
Bing: Mmm... you go back that far, huh?
David: Yeah, I'm not as young as I look.
Bing: Haha, none of us is these days!
David: In fact I've got a six year old son. And he really gets excited around the Christmas holiday-thing.
Bing: Do you go in for any of the traditional things in the eh Bowie household, Christmas time?
David: Oh yeah, most of them really. Presents, a tree, decorations, agents sliding down the chimney...
Bing: What??
David: I was just seeing if you were paying attention.
Bing: Haha!
David: Actually, our family do most of the things that other families do. We sing the same songs.
Bing: Do you?
David: Oh, I even have a go at 'White Christmas'.
Bing: You do, uh!
David: And this one. This is my son's favourite. Do you know this one?
Bing: Oh, I do indeed, it's a lovely thing...

Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy
words and music by Katherine K. Davis, Henry Onorati and Harry Simeone
Ian Fraser, Larry Grossman e Buz Cohan (Peace on Earth)
Come they told me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
A new-born king to see pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
Come they told me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
A new-born king to see pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
to lay before the king pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
so to honour him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
when we come
Little baby pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I stood beside him there pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I played my drum for him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I played my best for him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
And he smiled at me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
me and my drum
Peace on Earth, can it be
Years from now, perhaps we'll see
See the day of glory
See the day, when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again
Peace on Earth, can it be
Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can
I pray my wish will come true
For my child and your child too
He'll see the day of glory
See the day when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again
Peace on Earth, can it be
Can it be
Bing: Pretty thing, isn't it?
Este vídeo foi gravado no dia 11 de setembro de 1977 para o especial de Bing Crosby para a TV, "Merrie Olde Christmas". A dupla dialoga um pouco antes de cantar a tradicional "Little Drummer Boy" com um novo contraponto criado especialmente para a ocasião, com letra original de Ian Fraser, Larry Grossman e Buz Cohan, produtores do programa. Crosby então canta "Little Drummer Boy" enquanto Bowie canta a nova música recém-criada, "Peace on Earth". Bing Crosby viria a falecer cerca de um mês após esta gravação, que foi ao ar dia 30 de novembro de 1977.
