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, pum, rum, pa, pum, pum


When we come, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, so to honor him, oh, oh




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 the king, pa, rum, pa, pum, pum


Rum, pa, pum, pum, pum, pa, pum, pum


On my drum, oh, oh, on my drum




Yeah, 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

Me and my drum, oh, yeah, oh, me and my drum
