00:06And it came to pass that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be
00:14taxed, and all went to be taxed, everyone to his own city.
00:20For to disobey the Roman emperor meant certain death. Oh, there were young people and old people. There were the
00:29famous and mighty, and some not yet known, but whose names would eventually linger and be revered for all time.
00:40There were good people who could ill afford the cruel tax about to be imposed upon them, and there were
00:47others.
01:09Sir, Bobby, the little drummer boy, Aaron.
01:13Are those animals dancing, Ben Harameth?
01:18They certainly are.
01:21Faster, old friends, faster. You, Samson, smile.
01:28And you, Ben-Baba, be lighter, happier.
01:35Oh, Joshua, you can do better.
01:43Oh, with this marvel in my show caravan, I will be as rich as Solomon.
01:49But it is said, Aaron dislikes all humans. He will not join us willingly.
01:56Fool, why do you think we brought the rope?
01:59Ah.
02:11Let me go, do you hear me? Let me go!
02:14Get the camel!
02:21Ah! The donkey, too, fools!
02:26The lamb, you old crab, the lamb!
02:29How? I have only two hands.
02:32Stop concerning yourself with details. Do it!
02:40Drummer boy, you may not believe me, but this is the luckiest day of your life.
02:48Yes!
02:48Yes!
02:48Yes!
02:49Yes!
02:57John.
02:58He can do it.
03:00He can do it!
03:01He can do it!
03:07The dual war was coiled.
03:10The tower was so tic-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
03:13-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
03:15-o.
03:15Our finest gifts to bring the rum-rum-rum-rum
03:26To lay before the king the rum-rum-rum
03:32Rum-rum-rum, rum-rum-rum
03:37Rum-rum, rum-rum
03:40So true honor in the living room
03:50When it comes to me
04:08The little drummer boy, Aaron, fought Ben-Haramid and Ali with all his might
04:14He most definitely did not want to join the showman's caravan
04:18And journey into the crowded city
04:20For it was true, Aaron hated people
04:23All people
04:25No, no, I won't go with you
04:28Stop struggling, boy
04:31There is money to be made
04:33We can be rich
04:35While those taxpayers are waiting to be counted
04:40They will grow bored
04:42They will crave the entertainment which only I, Ben-Haramid, king of the desert showman
04:48And, of course, you too, can provide
04:52But I do not want to go near that mob
04:55I hate people
04:56All people
04:57And do you think I love people?
05:02What a beautiful world it would be without people
05:05But, alas, one must exist with people
05:09And, indeed, it is better to be crowded and rich
05:13Than crowded and poor
05:23When the goose is hanging high
05:29I can't work like other men do
05:32When the goose is hanging high
05:34When the sun is bright in the big blue sky
05:38And the goose is hanging high
05:40The devil steals my heart away
05:43The devil steals my heart away
05:43When the goose is hanging high
05:45Gold and silver on my mind
05:49Mischief in my soul
05:51I want to live like a rich man lives
05:54With life in my control
05:56When the day is bad
06:00And the wind is wet
06:03And the goose is flying low
06:08I can't work like other men do
06:10I gotta work like other men do
06:13When the goose is flying low
06:18But when the day is good
06:25And the wind is dry
06:27And the goose is hanging high
06:30I can't work like other men do
06:33When the goose is hanging high
06:34When the goose is hanging high
06:39Oh, Ben Harrimed was a wily old desert jackal
06:43Only he could have talked Aaron
06:45Into visiting the crowded city
06:47For, you see, Aaron truly did hate all people
06:52Now, it wasn't always this way
06:55For Aaron was once a happy farm lad
06:59The son of a shepherd
07:02Father! Mother!
07:06And why this exceptional greeting today, my son?
07:10Oh, no reason
07:11Happy birthday, Aaron
07:13Oh, father! Mother!
07:16Did you bring me something?
07:17I don't suppose this would interest you, young man?
07:22A drum!
07:24My very own drum!
07:26Oh, father!
07:27Try it out, Aaron!
07:29And perhaps, because it was a gift of love
07:32The drum had an almost magical quality
07:36And the animals, when they heard it
07:39Began to dance to its sound
07:47But Aaron's happiness was to end
07:51All too soon
07:52For one night, bandits of the desert attacked
08:01What's going on out there?
08:05Father!
08:06You must run, my son
08:07Escape, but run!
08:10They burned the farm and took the sheep
08:13And Aaron's happy life had changed forever
08:18And so Aaron roamed the land
08:21A lonely orphan
08:22His only friends
08:24Three of the farm animals who had escaped
08:26He vowed to hate all humans
08:29For what they had done to his family
08:32And he kept that vow
08:37Ah, Jerusalem at last
08:39Here we shall make our fortune
08:41All these people
08:43Aha!
08:45The rest of my show caravan
08:46Hello!
08:48Hello!
08:49Yami un missile!
08:52Set up our performing carpets
08:54And let us be on with the show
09:05Ladies and gentlemen
09:07Fellow taxpayers
09:09The day need not be all gloomy
09:12For I, Ben Haramed
09:14King of the desert showmen
09:17Have brought at great expense
09:19Direct from the palace of the emperor of China
09:22The toast of royalty
09:24Missal and Jamil
09:26Tumblers extraordinary
09:28Hop
09:30Hop
09:32Hop
09:35Hop
09:36Hop
09:38Hop
09:39Hop
09:40Hop
09:40Hop
09:41Wonderful, wonderful
09:43Perhaps it will show your appreciation
09:46For such a performance
09:49Philistine
09:50And now let's move it right along
09:53With Ali of Arabia
09:55Greatest juggler under the stars
10:10Boy, you perform next
10:12The crowd is restless
10:13You must please them
10:15Are you ready?
10:17I'm ready
10:18No, no
10:19Smile
10:20Smile
10:21See?
10:22Only a smile pleases the crowd
10:24Smile
10:25Smile!
10:28I cannot
10:29Not at them
10:31You stubborn little fool
10:33Then wear a painted one
10:36There, that's better
10:38When do I go on?
10:40Now
10:41Before the goat juggles me out of my life savings
10:51You never heard a lion laugh
10:55You never saw a gator grin
10:58A goose in a gaggle
10:59Never gives a giggle
11:01Why can't the animal smile?
11:04You never saw a smiling frog
11:07A tickled lamb
11:08A happy hog
11:10A light-hearted camel
11:11A merry old mammal
11:13Why can't the animal smile?
11:16A barrel of monkeys
11:17A pack of silly donkeys
11:19An elephant
11:19A caribou
11:21Have never been heard
11:23To chuckle a word
11:25Or twitter like people do
11:27You never heard a mouse caffaw
11:30A crow that did much more than caw
11:34Is an eagle
11:34Too regal
11:35Or is it all illegal?
11:37Why can't the animals smile?
11:40Why can't the animals smile?
11:49You heard them?
11:51More!
11:52More!
11:53Don't let them get away
11:54Before I pass the hat
11:56But as Aaron looked at the faces
11:58Of the cheering mob
11:59A great rage rose up inside him
12:03How dare they laugh and be happy
12:05After what their kind did to his family
12:09Stop!
12:11Quiet!
12:11I hate you all for what you did
12:14You're all brained thieves
12:16And bandits
12:17And knaves
12:18And
12:23Run for it!
12:25And so
12:26The troop was chased out of Jerusalem
12:29By the mob
12:30Boy
12:30You shall pay for this indignity
12:33Then hurry Matt
12:34Look
12:37By the hounds of heaven
12:39It is the caravan
12:40It is the caravan
12:40Of a king
12:41We're in luck
12:43Can I believe my luck?
12:46Two kings
12:48Hold me up
12:49Three
12:50Three kings
12:53And behold
12:55There came wise men
12:57From the east
12:58Three kings of the orient
13:00And lo
13:01The star which they saw
13:04Went before them
13:24Yes
13:25It was the star of Bethlehem
13:27Which shone
13:28Which shone so brightly
13:29And graced the lonely
13:31Darkening desert
13:32With its silver light
13:33But the little troop
13:35Did not see the star's beauty
13:37For the souls of Ben
13:39Haramid and Ali
13:40Were too filled with greed
13:41And the heart of Aaron
13:43Too overflowing with hatred
13:45To take any note
13:47Of the wonder
13:47Just above them
13:50Now you listen
13:51Drummer boy
13:51If you give this one performance
13:54Half the money shall be yours
13:56Then you are free
13:59Aaron agreed
14:00Only because he knew
14:02That with the king's money
14:03He would be free
14:04To go his own way
14:06And never again
14:07Have to trouble himself
14:08With humans
14:09And so they approached
14:11The three kings
14:13Melchior
14:14Gaspar
14:15And Balthazar
14:16Tis night
14:18We must break camp
14:20And swiftly
14:21The star waits not for us
14:24Strike the tents
14:27Pack the camels
14:34No!
14:35Don't go!
14:37We just got here!
14:39Halt!
14:40Out of my way
14:41We must perform
14:42Down, Knave
14:44Down
14:44Ben
14:45Haramed
14:46A knave
14:51I am crushed
14:53Lower your spears
14:55These desert vagabonds
14:57Seem to mean us no harm
14:59Why do you come to us?
15:02We are a troop of players
15:04Your majesty
15:06Majesties
15:07We have no time
15:09For making merry
15:10As you see
15:11We break camp and
15:12That's ridiculous
15:13Begging your pardon
15:16Nobody travels the desert
15:18By night
15:18We do
15:19For we follow
15:21The star
15:23How very
15:25Convenient
15:26But uh
15:28Enough
15:29Begone
15:31Now to resume our journey
15:36So close
15:38My fortune was so close
15:41And see what they load on the camels
15:45Great one
15:46Gold
15:47Oh
15:48Oh
15:49It's too painful
15:52And more valuable even than gold
15:55The precious eastern resins
15:58Frankincense
15:59And myrrh
16:02She is too weak
16:03She is too weak to go on
16:04Your majesties
16:05Poor creature
16:06She has been weakened
16:08By the long journey
16:09Have we no extra beasts?
16:12All are laden
16:13Almost beyond their strength
16:15Wait
16:16Did that player not own a camel?
16:20Perhaps he would sell it
16:22No
16:26You strike a hard bargain player
16:29I've had a hard life
16:31Now load the beast
16:33And let us be on our way
16:43Gold
16:44I adore the feel of it
16:48The weight of it
16:50The look of it
16:52Ah
16:54Ah
16:55Ah
16:56Ah
16:56Your share
16:57I don't want it
16:59I don't want any part of you
17:02Come Samson
17:03Baba
17:04We must find our own comrade
17:07No
17:07Let him go
17:09We're done with him
17:11Ah
17:11Ah
17:12Ah
17:12Ah
17:12Ah
17:13Ah
17:14Ah
17:14Ah
17:14Ah
17:14Ah
17:15Ah
17:15Ah
17:15Ah
17:15Ah
17:15Ah
17:16Ah
17:16Ah
17:17Ah
17:17Ah
17:17Ah
17:17Ah
17:18Ah
17:20Ah
17:20Ah
17:21Ah
17:21Ah
17:21Ah
17:21Ah
17:22Ah
17:22Ah
17:22Ah
17:24Ah
17:25Ah
17:25It was nowhere in sight.
17:30What is it, Baba?
17:32Samson?
17:34The star?
17:36Yes.
17:38The kings were following that star.
17:41If we follow it,
17:42we are sure to catch up with them.
17:45Come, quickly!
17:47And so they followed the gleaming star,
17:51little realizing where it was leading them.
17:55You can hear the music
17:59If you listen, raise your heart
18:06One star in the night
18:12Shorn of Bethlehem
18:16The town of Bethlehem.
18:19And as Aaron glanced back out over the countryside,
18:22he saw what seemed to be a gentle army of poor shepherds,
18:27all of them being led toward the tiny town.
18:30Why, they are all following the same star.
18:37Angels of light
18:41And that holy word
18:47Sound long to a Savior
18:52Who was born beneath its glory
19:00One star in the night
19:07Look, Samson, Baba, by that old stable up ahead. See?
19:12Won't I do remember
19:18My night
19:43The royal caravan, we found it.
19:47See, there is old Joshua.
19:51Their hearts were so full of joy that they did not look where they were going.
19:56Suddenly, something came careening out of the darkness.
19:59Out of my way, ragamuffin!
20:02Baba!
20:07Oh, Baba, you mustn't die. You mustn't.
20:11Who can help me?
20:16Yes, the kings. The kings are wise.
20:20They will be able to save Baba.
20:24Please, I've got to get inside to see the kings.
20:27You must let me through.
20:28And when Aaron came to the entrance of the stable, he could hardly believe what he saw.
20:37And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because
20:46there was no room for them in the inn.
20:49Oh, your majesty! You must...
20:54Oh, the player boy.
20:57My lamb has been injured. You must save him.
21:00He is near death.
21:02Oh, lad, there is nothing I can do.
21:05But... but you are a king!
21:07A mortal king only, but there is a king among kings who would save your little friend.
21:17The babe?
21:19But... but... I do not understand.
21:22It is not necessary that you understand. Go to him.
21:27But, uh... I... I have no gift to bring.
21:32Go. Look about the newborn king.
21:39Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
22:06Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
22:22Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
22:23Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
22:24Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
22:29Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
22:29Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go
23:05I've played my best for him forever
23:11I've played my best for him forever
23:13I've played my best for him forever
23:41And as Aaron looked at the babe
23:43He thought it was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen
23:47And yet, there is something more about him
23:51So much more
23:53Your gift, little drummer boy
23:55Given out of the simple desperation of a pure love
24:00Is the one favored above all
24:03See?
24:05Aaron's heart was filled with joy and love
24:10And he knew at last that the hate he had carried there was wrong
24:14As all hatred will ever be wrong
24:18For more powerful, more beautiful by far
24:22Than all the eons of sadness and cruelty and desolation which had come before
24:28Was that one tiny, crystalline second of laughter
24:35Blessed are the pure in heart
24:39For they shall see God
24:54Supposedly with joy and Vision
24:56That woman
