The Little Drummer Boy
[Verse 1]
Come, they told me, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
A newborn King to see, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
To lay before the King, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
Ra-pa-pum-pum, ra-pa-pum-pum
So to honor Him, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
When we come, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum

[Verse 2]
Little Baby, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum (Ra-pa-pa-pum-pum-pum)

Ra-pa-pum-pum, ra-pa-pum-pum

On my drum? Pa-ra-pa-pum-pum

[Verse 3]
Mary nodded, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum

I played my drum for Him, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
I played my best for Him, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
Ra-pa-pum-pum, ra-pa-pum-pum
Then He smiled at me, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
Me and my drum, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
[Outro]
Shall I play for you? Pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
Then He smiled at me, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum (Drum, drum, drum, drum)
Me and my drum (Drum, drum, drum, drum, drum)
(Drum, drum, drum, drum)
