Come, they told me, pa, rum-pa-pum, pum
A 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
Pa, rum-pa-pum, pum, pa, rum-pa-pum, pum
Come, they told me, pa, rum-pa-pum, pum
A newborn king to see, pa, rum-pa-pum, pum (pa, rum-pa-pum, pum)
Our finest gifts we bring, pa, rum-pa-pum, pum (ooh-ooh)
To lay before the king, pa, rum-pa-pum, pum
Rum-pa-pum, pum, rum-pa-pum, pum (ooh-ooh)
Oh, oh
Ohh
Little baby, pa, rum-pa-pum, pum (rum-pa-pum, pum)
He is a poor boy too, pa, rum-pa-pum, pum (rum-pa-pum, pum)
We have no gifts to bring, pa, rum-pa-pum, pum (pa, rum-pa-pum, pum)
That's fit to give a king, pa, rum-pa-pum, pum
Pa, rum-pa-pum, pum, pa, rum-pa-pum, pum
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
Pa, rum-pa-pum, pum, pa, rum-pa-pum, pum
I played my best for him, pa, rum-pa-pum, pum
Pa, rum-pa-pum, pum, pa, rum-pa-pum, pum
Me and my drum
