A little boy banged his drum so loud,
La da da da, da da da da
Boom! Boom! Boom!
That the thunder up in a thunder cloud,
La da da da, da da da da
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Said, "Since I can't be heard, why then,
I'm never going to thunder again!"
La da da da, da da da da,
Boom! Boom! Boom!
But not far away there lived a girl,
La da da da, da da da da,
Shhhhh,
She was always silent and always still,
La da da da, da da da da,
Shhhhh,
A fly once said to a ladybird,
"She's the quietest child I never heard!"
La da da da, da da da da
Shhhhh.
(Put fingers to lips for 'shhh' part.)
La da da da, da da da da
Boom! Boom! Boom!
That the thunder up in a thunder cloud,
La da da da, da da da da
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Said, "Since I can't be heard, why then,
I'm never going to thunder again!"
La da da da, da da da da,
Boom! Boom! Boom!
But not far away there lived a girl,
La da da da, da da da da,
Shhhhh,
She was always silent and always still,
La da da da, da da da da,
Shhhhh,
A fly once said to a ladybird,
"She's the quietest child I never heard!"
La da da da, da da da da
Shhhhh.
