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, pa-rum-pum-pum, pum
To lay before the King, pa-rum-pum-pum, pum, rum-pum-pum, pum, 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
Rum-pum-pum, pum, 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

Me and my drum
