The Little Drummer Boy lyrics

Come, they told me

Our newborn King to see

Our finest gifts we bring

To lay before the King

This is to honor Him

When we come

Baby Jesus, I am a poor boy too

I have no gift to bring

That's fit to give a King

But may I play for You

On my drum?

The Mother Mary nodded

The Ox and Lamb kept time

I played my drum for Him

I played my best for Him

Then He smiled at me

Me and my drum
