The Little Drummer Boy lyrics
by Katherine Kennicott Davis
[Verse 1]
Come, they told me, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
A new-born King to see, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
To lay before the King, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
Ra-pa-pum-pum, ra-pa-pum-pum
So, to honor Him, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
When we come
[Verse 2]
Little baby, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
I am a poor boy too, pa-ra-pa-pum-puma
I have no gift to bring, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
That's fit to give a King, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
Ra-pa-pum-pum, ra-pa-pum-pum
Shall I play for you, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
On my drum?
[Verse 3]
Mary nodded, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
I played my drum for Him, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
I played my best for Him, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
Ra-pa-pum-pum, ra-pa-pum-pum
Then He smiled at me, pa-ra-pa-pum-pum
Me and my drum
[Outro]
My drum!
