Little Drummer Boy Lyrics
Come, they told me (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
A newborn king to see (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
Our finest gifts we bring (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
To lay before the king (pa-[rum-pa-pum-pum x 3])
So, to honor him (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
When we come
Little baby (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
I am a poor boy, too (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
I have no gifts to bring (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
That's fit to give a king (pa-[rum-pa-pum-pum x 3])
Shall I play for you (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
On my drum
Mary nodded (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
The ox and lamb kept time (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
I played my drum for him (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
I played my best for him (pa-[rum-pa-pum-pum x 3])
Then he smiled at me (pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
Me and my drum
