Come they told me

Pa rum pum pum pum

A new born 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 pum,

rum pum pum pum

So to honor Him

Pa rum pum pum pum

Me and my drum

Little baby

Pa rum pum pum pum

I am a poor boy too

Pa rum pum pum pum

I have no gifts to bring

Pa rum pum pum pum

That's fit to give a 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

On my drum, yeah

Drummer boy, (drummer boy)

Won't you play that drum (play that drum)

Drummer boy, (drummer boy)

For the King that's come

Drummer boy (ooh yeah)

Play the rum pum pum pum (pum pum)

Drummer boy, (drummer boy)

Play that drum (would you play that 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 He smiled at me

Pa rum pum pum pum

Me and my drum

Me and my drum

(Come on)

Drummer boy, (drummer boy)

Won't you play that drum (won't play that drum, yeah)

Drummer boy, (drummer boy)

For the King that's come

(little pum pum pum pum)

Drummer boy (drummer boy)

Little rum pum pum pum (rum pum pum pum)

Drummer boy, (drummer boy)

Play that drum (play that drum)

Rum pum pum pum
