The Little Drummer Boy
      (Katherine K. Davis)

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

Little baby
      Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I am a poor boy too
      Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I have no gift to bring
      Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
That's fit to give our King
      Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
      Rum-pa-pum-pum
      Rum-pa-pum-pum
Shall I play for you
      Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
On my drum

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