Lyrics
Come, they told me
Our newborn King to see
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)
This is to honor Him (pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
When we come (pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
Baby Jesus, I am a poor boy too
I have no gift to bring (pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
That's fit to give a King (pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
(Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum)
But may I play for you (pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
On my drum (pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
The mother Mary nodded
The ox and lamb kept time
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 (pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
