The Little Drummer Boy Lyrics

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band The Little Drummer Boy

Come they told me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Our newborn to see, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
To lay before the king, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum,
rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum
So to honor him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
When we come

Baby Jesus, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I am a poor boy too, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I have gift to bring, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
That's fit to give our king, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
rum-pa-pum-pum rum-pa-pum-pum
Shall I play for you, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
On my drum

Mary nodded, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I played my drum for him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I played my best for him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum
Then he smiled at me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
