Come, they told me pa-rum pum pum pum
Our newborn king to see, pa-rum pum pum pum
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
So to honor him pa-rum pum pum pum
When we come

Little baby 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 our 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?

Mary nodded 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
