Johnny Cash
The Little Drummer Boy
[Verse 1]
Come, they told me
Our newborn King to see
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)
This is to honor Him (Pa-ra-pa-pum-pum)
When we come (Pa-ra-pa-pum-pum)
[Verse 2]
Baby Jesus
I am a poor boy too
I have no gift to bring (Pa-ra-pa-pum-pum)
That's fit to give a King (Pa-ra-pa-pum-pum)
(Ra-pa-pum-pum, ra-pa-pum-pum)
But may I play for You (Pa-ra-pa-pum-pum)
On my drum? (Pa-ra-pa-pum-pum)
[Verse 3]
The Mother Mary nodded
The Ox and Lamb kept time
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)
