The Little Drummer Boy
Burl Ives

Come, they told me pa-rum pum pum pum

Our newborn 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

Then He smiled at me pa-rum pum pum pum

Me and my drum
