Come they told me, pa rub a dum dum
A new born King to see, pa rub a dum dum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rub a dum dum
To lay before the King, pa rub a dum dum,
rub a dum dum, rub a dum dum,

So to honor Him, pa rub a dum dum,
When we come.

Little Baby, pa rub a dum dum
I am a poor boy too, pa rub a dum dum
I have no gift to bring, pa rub a dum dum
That's fit to give the King, pa rub a dum dum,
rub a dum dum, rub a dum dum,

Shall I play for you, pa rub a dum dum,
On my drum?

Mary nodded, pa rub a dum dum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rub a dum dum
I played my drum for Him, pa rub a dum dum
I played my best for Him, pa rub a dum dum,
rub a dum dum, rub a dum dum,

Then He smiled at me, pa rub a dum dum
Me and my drum.
