Come, they told me,
pa-rum pum pum pum.
A new born King to see,
pa-rum pum pum pum.
Our fin-est gifts we bring,
pa-rum pum pum pum.
To lay be - fore the King,
pa-rum pum pum pum,
rum-pum pum pum,
rum-pum pum pum.
So to ho-nor Him,
pa-rum pum pum pum,
When__ we come.
Lit-tle Ba-by,
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 the 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?
Ma-ry nod-ded,
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.
