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?
On my, on my, on my, on my, on my, on my, 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
On my, on my, on my, on my, on my, on my, on my,
On my, on my, on my, on my, on my, on my, on my,
On my drum
