"Come," they told me;
(pa-rum-pum-pum pum)
"A new born 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)
So to honor Him
(pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
When we come."

"Baby Jesus'
(pa-rum-pum-pum pum)
I am a poor boy too
(pa-rum-pum-pum pum)
I have no gift 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)
Shall I play for you
(pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
On my drum?"
Mary nodded
(pa-rum-pum-pum pum)
The ox and lamb kept time
(pa-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)
Then He smiled at me
(pa-rum-pum-pum pum)
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
