Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Come, they told me

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

Our newborn King to see

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

[Verse 2]

Our finest gifts, we'll bring

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

To lay before the King

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum

[Verse 3]

So, to honor Him

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

When we come

[Verse 4]

Baby gaze, ooh

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

I am a poor boy, too

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

[Verse 5]

I have no gift to bring

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

That's fit to give our King

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum

[Verse 6]

Shall I play for you?

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

On my drum

[Verse 7]

Mary nodded

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

The ox and lamb kept time

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

[Verse 8]

I played my drum for Him

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

I played my best for Him

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum

[Verse 9]

Then He smiled at me

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

Me and my drum

[Verse 10]

Me and my drum
