Little Drummer Boy

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 our King, pa rum pum pum-pum
Rum pum pum-pum, rum pum pum-pum
So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum-pum
When we come
Little baby, pa rum pum pum-pum
I am a poor girl too, pa rum pum pum-pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum-pum
That's fit to give our King, pa rum pum pum-pum
Rum pum pum-pum, rum pum pum-pum
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum-pum
On my drum
Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum-pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum-pum
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 she smiled at me, pa rum pum pum-pum
Me and my drum
She smiled at me
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
