Harry Simeone Chorale - The Little Drummer Boy Lyrics

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 Gesu
(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
