The Greatest Drummer in the World
One of Leon's latter-day children's songs. Included on the CD which accompanies the stage show, The Greatest Drummer in the World. The song provides a theme tune for the show, and the title reminds us of the much older "Greatest Director in the World", although it is of course unrelated, and comes from the original book. The song closes the story on a triumphant note, as the giant is vanquished and the girl drummer is welcomed home by the villagers.
