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
When we come

Little baby
Pa, rum, pum, pum, pum
I am a poor boy, too
Pa, rum, pum, pum, pum
I have no gift to bring
Pa, rum, pum, pum, pum
That's fit to give our 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?

Mary nodded
Pa, rum, pa, 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
