Come they told me, pa-rum pum pum pum
A newborn 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, wum pum pum pum
So to honor him, pa-rum pum pum pum
When we come
When we come

Oh, little baby, 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
Worthy of a king, pa-rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you? Shall I play for you?
On my drum
On my drum

Mary nodded, pa-rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa-rum pum pum pum
I played my best for him, pa-rum pum pum pum
I played my drum 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
Me and my drum

Oh, little baby, 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
Worthy of a king, pa-rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you? Shall I play for you?

On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
I'm gonna play
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
