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,

rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum,

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 gift to bring,

pa rum pa pum (A5)pum,

that's fit to (D5)give our King,

pa rum pa pum (G5)pum, rum pa pum (D5)pum,

rum pa pum (A5)pum.

(D5)Shall (A7)I (D)play for you, (Bm7)pa (Em7)rum pa pum (D5)pum,

(A7)on my (D5)drum?

On my drum.

(E5)I play my drum for Him.

(A5)So to (E5)honor (B5)Him.

(E5)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, rum pa pum pum,

rum pa pum pum.

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pa pum pum,

me and my drum.

(E5)When we come,

(E5)When we me and my drum.

(E5)drum.
