Lyrics

Little Drummer Boy

Yeah alright

Come they told me

Pa rum pum pum pum

A new born 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

Little baby

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 (I have no gifts to bring)

That's fit to give a King

Pa rum pum pum pum

Rum pum pum pum

Rum pum pum pum, oh oh

Shall I play for you

Pa rum pum pum pum

On my drum, oh oh

On my drum

Ohoh

I gave my fortune

Pa rum pum pum pum

I played my drum for you

Pa rum pum pum pum pum pum

I played my best for you yeah,oh

Pa rum pum pum pum

Then he smiled at me, he smiled

Such a pretty smile, yes it was

Me and my drum

Come they told me

Pa rum pum pum pum

My and my drum

When we come

Me and my drum
