Come they told me, pa-rum pum pum pum
A 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 Baby Jesu, 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, me and my drum
