Come, they told me (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)

A new-born King to see (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)

Our finest gifts we bring (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)

To lay before the King (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum)

So to honor Him (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)

When we come.

Baby Gesu (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)

I am a poor boy, too (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)

I have no gift to bring (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)

That's fit to give a King (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum)

Shall I play for you (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)

On my drum?

Mary nodded (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)

The ox and lamb kept time (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)

I played my drum for Him (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)

I played my best for Him (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum)

Then, He smiled at me (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)

Me and my drum...
