Little Drummer Boy
Come, they told me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
A newborn King to see, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we 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
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
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
Come, they told me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
A newborn King to see, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we 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
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
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
