Little Drummer Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Come they told me (ba rum bu bu bum)
A new born king to see (ba rum bu bu bum)
Our finest gifts we bring (ba rum bu bu bum)
To set before the king (ba rum bu bu bum)
Rum bu bu bum, rum bu bu bum
So to honor him (ba rum bu bu bum)
When we come
Little baby (ba rum bu bu bum)
I am a poor boy too (ba rum bu bu bum)
I have no gift to bring (ba rum bu bu bum)
That's fit to give a king (ba rum bu bu bum)
Shall I play for you (ba rum bu bu bum)
On my drum
Then he nodded (ba rum bu bu bum)
The ox and lamb kept time (ba rum bu bu bum)
I played my drum for him (ba rum bu bu bum)
I played my best for him (ba rum bu bu bum)
Rum bu bu bum rum bu bu bum
Then he smiled at me (ba rum bu bu bum)
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
