"Little Drummer Boy"

Come, they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A newborn King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gives we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King

REFRAIN:
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

Baby Jesus, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum

I have no gifts to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give our king
[REFRAIN]

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum
On my drum

Baby Jesus, 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
[REFRAIN]

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.

Written by Katherine Kennicott Davis, 1941.
