Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Come, they told me

Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum

A newborn 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

[Verse 2]

Peace on Earth, can it be? (Come, they told me, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)

Years from now perhaps we'll see (A newborn king to see, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)

See the day of glory (Our finest gifts we bring, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)

See the day when men of goodwill (Laid before the king, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)

Live in peace, live in peace again (pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)

Peace on Earth (So, to honor him, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)

Can it be? (When we come)

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

I pray my wish will come true (Little baby, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)

For my child and your child too (I stood beside him there, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)

He'll see the day of glory (I played my drum for him, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)

Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum

Rum-pum-pum-pum

See the day when men of goodwill (I played my best for him, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)

Live in peace, live in peace again (pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)

[Verse 5]

Peace on Earth, can it be? (Then he smiled at me)

Can it be? (Me and my drum)

Can it be?
