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
So to honor Him, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
When we come
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Shall I play for you? Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum pum pum pum
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Come, they told me, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
A newborn King to see, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
