Little Drummer Boy

[Intro: Donald Lawrence]
I just wanna tell y'all a little story about how we should give all that we have to Christ
We should give our lives to Him
Because He gave His life for us
Y'all with me out there?
This is a little story about a boy
Who came and gave the Lord the very best that he had
You know, we need to give God all that we have
Y'all with me?
Uh, yeah
Anyway, one day he walked out and there was a lot of excitement in the town
And people wеre walkin' and runnin'
And they had gifts in their arms
And hе wondered what was goin' on
Where were they going? What was all the excitement about?
And one person came up and then another person came up and they came to him and this is what they said, they said, "Come"

[Verse 1: Donald Lawrence & The Tri-City Singers]
Come, they told me, pa-rum pum pum pum
(It was a newborn King that was born)
A newborn King to see, pa-rum pum pum pum
(And they had their finest gifts in their arms)
Our finest gifts we bring, pa-rum pum pum pum
(And the reason they had this, they had to lay it down before this newborn King)
To lay before the King, pa-rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
(They laid it down just to honor him)
So, to honor Him, pa-rum pum pum pum
(When we come)
When we come

[Interlude: Donald Lawrence]
Kinda churchy, ain't it?
Think I wanna change the key right here
Yeah
Well, I got up in front of the King and
I said this, I said, "Little baby"

[Verse 2]
Little baby, pa-rum pum pum pum
(Ya see, I'm a poor boy just like you are)
I am a poor boy, too, pa-rum pum pum pum
(Everybody got such fine gifts and I'm embarrassed because I don't have those kind of gifts)
I have no gifts to bring, pa-rum pum pum pum
(And you know, I just really didn't have anything that was worthy of you)
To lay before a King, pa-rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
(Oh, I forgot, oh, I forgot, can I play my little drum for you?)
Shall I play for you? Pa-rum pum pum pum
On my drum

[Interlude: Donald Lawrence]
Oh, hallelujah
I feel this thing
Think I wanna change the key one more time
Hey
Well, I got my little drum out and I got to feelin' and I got to groovin' with it
And you know what? I looked over at his mother and she was noddin'

[Verse 3]
Mary nodded, pa-rum pum pum pum
(And you know what? The Shekinah glory came in the house and I looked around, and the animals was noddin)
The ox and lamb kept time, pa-rum pum pum pum
(So, when God comes in the building, everybody's got to move, hey)
I played my drum for Him, pa-rum pum pum pum
(I played so I felt it myself, and then I, I tried to play my best for him)
I played my best for Him, pa-rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
(Then I looked down at Him)
Then He smiled at me
(And when He smiled, y'all I couldn't help but cry)
Me and my drum
(I couldn't help but cry when I was looking at the little baby Jesus)
Me and my drum
(Smilin' at me, somebody He didn't even know)
And then He smiled at me
(Oh, he smiled at me and the tears came more)
Me and my drum
(A cherub came over me, y'all)
Me and my drum
(I couldn't hardly play no more)
And then He smiled at me
(He smiled at me)

[Outro]
Me and my drum
(Ugh, me and my drum, yeah, oh, yeah)
Me and my drum
(And from then on, I knew I wanna gon' bless him)
Me and my drum
(With everything I had)
Yes, I'll praise Him
(I'm gon' bless Him)
I'll bless Him
(Hey)
Me and my drum
(If you want your trouble to leave, just bless Him with your drum)
Me and my drum
(You want your fears to get away from you, just bless the Lord)
Me and my drum
(Yeah, just look at somebody and say I'll praise Him)
Yes, I praise Him
(I'll bless Him)
I'll bless Him
Me and my drum

Just me and my drum
