The Little Drummer Boy lyrics

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 a 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 gift 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 ass 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
