Psalty's Family Singalong Christmas
THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY

“Come!” They told me,
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!
Our Newborn King to see,
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!
Our finest gifts we bring,
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!
To lay before the King,
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!
Rum-pum-pum-pum!
Rum-pum-pum-pum!

So to honor him,
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!
When we come.

Baby Jesus,
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!
I am a poor boy too,
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!
I have no gift to bring,
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!
That’s fit to give a King.
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!
Rum-pum-pum-pum!
Rum-pum-pum-pum!

Shall I play for you,
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!
On my drum?
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!

Mary nodded,
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!
The ox and lamb kept time,
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!
I played my drum for Him,
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!
I played my best for Him
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!
Rum-pum-pum-pum!
Rum-pum-pum-pum!

Then he smiled at me,
Pah-rum-pum-pum-pum!
Me and my drum.
