Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come, they told me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Our newborn King to see, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Our finest gifts they bring, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
To lay before the king, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum
So to honor Him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
When we come
[Verse 2]
Little baby, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I am a poor boy too, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I have no gifts to bring, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
That's fit to give a king, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum
Shall I play for you, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
On my drum?
[Verse 3]
Mary nodded, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I played my drum for him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I played my best for him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum
Then He smiled at me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Me and my drum
[Verse 4]
Little baby, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I am a poor boy too, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I have no gifts to bring, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
That's fit to give our king, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum
Shall I play for you, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
On my drum?
[Verse 5]
Mary nodded, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I played my drum for him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I played my best for him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum
Then He smiled at me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Me and my drum
