The Little Drummer Boy
Henry Onorati, Harry Simeone, Katherine Kennicott Davis
Come they told me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Our newborn to see, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
To lay before the king, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum
So to honor him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
When we come
Baby Jesus, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I am a poor boy too, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I have gift to bring, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
That's fit to give our king, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum rum-pa-pum-pum
Shall I play for you, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
On my drum
Mary nodded, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I played my drum for him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I played my best for him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum
Then he smiled at me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
