Come, they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gift 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


Baby Jesu, 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


Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born 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
