Come they told me
Our newborn King to see
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)

This is to honor Him
(Pa rum pum pum pum)
When we come
(Pa rum pum pum pum)

Baby Jesus
I am a poor boy too
I have no gift 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)

But may I play for you
(Pa rum pum pum pum)
On my drum
(Pa rum pum pum pum)

The Mother Mary nodded
The ox and lamb kept time
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
(Pa rum pum pum pum)
