The Little Drummer Boy

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.

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.
