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, hey
So to honor Him, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
When we come
Hey, drummer boy

Little Baby, 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

Me and my drum, we're gonna play for you
On my drum, on my drum, on my drum

Me and my drum, yeah
I wanna play for you, yeah, on my drum
I wanna play
