Come, they told me - pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
A new-born king to see - pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
Our finest gifts we bring - pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
To lay before the king - pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
Rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum
So to honor him - pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
When we come

Baby Jesu - pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
I am a poor boy, too - pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
I have no gift to bring - pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
That's fit to give a king - pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
Rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum
Shall I play for you - pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
On my drum?

Mary nodded - pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
The ox and lamb kept time - pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
I played my drum for him - pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
I played my best for him - pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
Rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum
Then, he smiled at me - pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
Me and my drum
