Lyrics
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
Little baby, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I am a poor girl too, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I have no gifts to bring, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
That’s fit to give the King, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Pum-pum-pum, pum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum-pum-pum
Shall I play for You pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
Mary nodded, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
The ox and the lamb kept time, little drummer boy
I played my drums for Him
(Ba-dum-pum-pum)
I played my best for Him
(Ba-dum-pum-pum)
Then He smiled at me
(Ba-dum-pum-pum)
Little drummer boy smiled at me
(Ba-dum-pum-pum)
Our finest gifts we bring
(ba-dum-pum-pum)
L-l-laying before our King
(Ba-dum-pum-pum)
Brrra-da-duh-num, pum-pum, brrra-da-duh-num
Duh-nuh-dum-dum, duh-duh-duh-dum, da-dum-dum-dum, dum
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
To lay before the king, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Hey little drummer boy, oh little drummer boy
Brra-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dah
I am a poor girl too, what shall I play for You
Brra-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dah
I have no gift to bring, that’s fit to give the King
Brra-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dah
(Rum-pum)
Rum-pum-pum-pum
(Pum-pum)
Rum-pum-pum-pum
When we come, on my drum, me and my drum
Come they told me, a newborn King to see
(Little drummer boy)
We bringin' our finest gifts to lay before the King
Rum-rum-pum-pum-pum
