Henry Mancini › Lyrics › The Little Drummer Boy

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

Little baby, 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 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

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

Mary smile at me, pa rum pum, pum, pum
Me and my drum
