The Little Drummer Boy

Come, they told me (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum) A new-born King to see (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum) Our finest gifts we bring (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum) To lay before the King (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum Rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum) So to honor Him (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum) When we come Baby Gesu (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum) I am a poor boy, too (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum) I have no gift to bring (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum) That's fit to give a King (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum Rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum) Shall I play for you (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum) On my drum? Mary nodded (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum) The ox and lamb kept time (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum) I played my drum for Him (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum) I played my best for Him (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum Rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum) Then, He smiled at me (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum) Me and my drum Transcribed by Little John These lyrics were transcribed from the specific recording referenced Above, and are for personal use and research interest only.
