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
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
(Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
When we come (We come)

Baby Jesus, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
(Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
I'm a poor boy, too, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
(Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
I have no gift to bring, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
(Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
That's fit to give our 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 (On my drum)

Mary nodded, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
(Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
The ox and mule kept time, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
(Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
I played my drum for him, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
(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
(Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
Me and my drum (Me and my drum)

Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum (Rum-pum-pum-pum)

Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum (Rum-pum-pum-pum)

Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum (Rum-pum-pum-pum)
