Lyrics

Come, they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new-born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the king, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum

So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum
When we come

Little baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give our King, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum
On my drum

Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum

Writer(s): Katherine K. Davis, Harry Simeone, Henry V. Onorati
