Come, they told me, pa rum pa pum pum (rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum)
A newborn king to see, pa rum pa pum pum (rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum)
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pa pum pum (rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum)
To lay before the king, pa rum pa pum pum (pum)
Rum a pum pum (pum), rum pa pum pum (rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum)
So to honor him, pa rum pa pum pum (rum pa pum pum, 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 ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pa pum pum
I played my drums 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
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
