Come, they told me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Our 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 gift to bring, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
That's fit to give our 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 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
