Come, they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
Our newborn king to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the king, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum, rum pumpum
So to honor him, pa rum pum pum pum
When we come
Baby Jesus, pa rum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
Thats fit to give a king, pa rum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rumpum 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 ass kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
Then I played for him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for him, pa rum pum pum, rum pum pum, rum pumpum pum
Then he smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum
rum, pum pum pum
rum, pum pum pum
rum, pum pum pum
pum, pum
