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
To lay before the King, pa-rum, pum-pum, pum
Rum, pum-pum, pum, rum, pum-pum, pum
[Refrain]
So to honor Him, pa-rum, pum-pum, pum
When we come
[Instrumental]
Baby Jesu, 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 the King, pa-rum, pum-pum, pum
Rum, pum-pum, pum, rum, pum-pum, pum
[Refrain]
Shall I play for you? Pa-rum, pum-pum, pum
On my drum
[Verse 2]
Mary nodded, pa-rum, pum-pum, pum
And 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, pa-rum, pum-pum, pum
[Refrain]
Then, He smiled at me, pa-rum, pum-pum, pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
