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
[Verse 2]
Little baby
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I am a poor girl too
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I have no gifts to bring
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
That's fit to give the King
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Pum-pum-pum-pum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum-pum
[Verse 3]
Shall I play for You?
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
[Verse 4]
Mary nodded
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
The ox and the lamb kept time
Little drummer boy
[Verse 5]
I played my drums for Him
I played my best for Him
Then, he smiled at me
Little drummer boy, smiled at me
Our finest gifts we bring
L-l-laying before our king
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
To lay before the King
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
[Verse 8]
A little drummer boy
Oh, little drummer boy
I am a poor girl too
What shall I play for you?
I have no gift to bring
That's fit to give the King
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
When we, come on, my drum
Me and my drum
[Verse 9]
Come, they told me
A newborn King to see
We bringin' our finest gifts
To lay before the King
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-rum-pum-pum, oh
Pum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum, oh
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum-pum-pum-pum
Little drummer boy
